Exchange internal users attachment size restrictions

hi Experts,

We have a Exchange server 2010. We want to restrict the attachment size of internal users. External users it is 20 MB, but for internal users I want to restrict it to 3 MB.
Is it possible, if so how?

Thanks your help in advance

Muhammad Burhan,
I don't think there is a option in Transport. When you create the rule, you select from 'inside the organization'. in Action you dont have attachment option.

Alexei Kuznetsov and Ankit Pareek,

Doesn't that include affect internal and external emails.
ukitsmeAuthor Commented:
Sorry I have to edit my question. Internal emails i.e. communication between internal users should have a restriction of 3 MB and external emails should be 20 MB i.e. Internal to External emails. and External and Internal emails
ukitsmeAuthor Commented:
In Transport rule you can block emails under  a particular size i.e. I can block emails over 3MB but not the other way around.
Muhammad BurhanManager I.T.Commented:
lets try this,

set organization limit as 20 MB

make a new rule and select "from people" and "sent to people" condition with "when the size of any attachment...." and type *@yourdomain.com in "from address" and "to address".

in action select "send bounce message to sender with enhanced status code" and fill desired text in Message/Reason fields.

check results.

Muhammad Burhan,

1) In conditions you select Inside Organization
2) In actions you are asking to send bounce messages, but where is the condition. If I do that it will send rejection message to all users.
