I have modified the message_size_limit in main.cf and restarted
postfix. If I send messages under the size specified, they are
delivered normally. If the message is over the limit, the message is
not delivered, but there is no entry in the /var/log/maillog that
shows that it was blocked. What am I missing or is this normal
behavior. Also, is there a way to send something back to the sender to
indicate that the message was too big?

It's not logged because the SMTP client never sends the mail.
The SMTP server announces the size limit and that is sufficient.
