Bernhard Boxhorn suggests to record sender (or other
headers, perhaps Subject) in the
oversized-messages-kept/deleted mail. Should be doable
for POP3, we must have the header when we see a reject
of MAIL FROM:<foo@bar.example> SIZE=123456789 else we
wouldn't have the envelope sender, quote:

"So, this remains as feature request, when set the
--limitflush option then headers are downloaded after
realizing that the mail exceeds the limitflush size,
deletes the mail and informs the recipient (btw, why
not the sender) that sender xy...@ab... sent am mail
with X MB, this was 
bigger than $limitflush and the mail got deleted.
This would save the bandwith to download and then
reject the Mail and as well we could turn on
softbounce=yes for protecting us a bit when doing
configuration errors."

(softbounce referring to Postfix's soft_bounce feature.)
