How do I bounce back all mails over 50 recipients

[Alex Neuman van der Hans]

Rejection at the mta level would only work when you get to 50 local (as opposed to total) recipients. If you want to reject because of more than 50 total recipients regardless of whether they're on your server or not, you need a milter that looks at the actual message. Bouncing is bad. 

Oh, and BCC and recipient splitting makes your requirement ineffective. Whoever thought it up didn't sit down and think about how the whole smtp process works.

I have a requirement that mails with  over 50 recipients should be
outright rejected or bounced back
I assumed this would have been pretty simple to configure in MailScanner
or my MTA ( postfix) 


I do not want the mails to reach even the first 49 recipients if mail is
marked to 50 



Thanks
