Might be possible but likey not worth the hassle.

The following is based on some actual knowlege of the server while
other parts are educated guesses:

The server currently imposes a 1 meg limit on all messages. This number
could be adjusted on a group by group basis but I think at the moment
it is a global setting for all of the groups. If lowered it would likely
impact the binaries.animations group whose files sizes are generally
much larger than in this group.

I personally don't see a need for a change at the moment. I believe
that peer pressure works well and most people do not make the same
mistake once being informed of the problem.
