limit message size?

Hi

I need to limit the size of emails for one account. If the mail is larger than 12kB I want it to be redirected.

My mailserver runs qmail + vpopmail

I got this procmailrc
-----
MAILDIR=/home/vpopmail/domains/example.com/russell/Maildir/
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/procmail.log
LOCKFILE=$MAILDIR/.lockmail

:0
* > 12000
! postmaster(_at_)example(_dot_)com

:0:
${DEFAULT}
-----

and I run procmail from a .qmail file with
-----
| preline procmail -t ./russell/procmailrc
-----

The logfile seems to indicate the filter works, but the user reports there are larger mails in his inbox.

So my question is why does those large mail still end up in the inbox? and what do i need to do the stop that behavior?
