Incoming dir size?

[Gottschalk, David]

Hi all,
   I recently set my /mailscanner/incoming directory to be mounted in memory. One thing I didn't think about before I allocated size is what if a email comes in that is bigger than this filesystem size in memory? Currently, I have 512mb mounted in memory. The size of data on it right now is very small, but I'm afraid it could cause problems if someone sent a massive file (had someone recently send a 1.4gig file via email, no, I'm not joking, it got quarantined though cause it was over max size allowed). I can't find any information on this, so any input would be appreciated.

Thanks!
