I doubt that I know enough to assist you, but, when I looked at this yesterday, I had no idea what you are asking. If you provide some information, someone may be able to assist you. Posting the same uninformative question in multiple forums cannot change the deficiencies of the question itself.

Questions that come to mind are

The default recipient is 1000 in what? for what?

Is that number of emails or the user ID?

What software and distro(s) are involved?

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Frankly, unless you are talking about some type of newsletter, this looks like an attempt to find out how to send more and better spam.

current structure

Smtpd_recipient limit =1000

now all the users are able to send mail to 1000 recipients email address (TO,CC,BCC) in a single message as per the above policy mention in main.cf file

what i want to implement is policy on user basis
i need to restrict the recipient limit =100 , Rest of the user recipient limit=1000 as per the Global Policy

i hope you understand the query,if not please let me know

i don't see anything in the postfix readme's about setting it on a per-user basis (or other searches / co-workers / etc).
the best 'quote' i can find is from the http://www.postfix.org/TUNING_README.html :

The smtpd_recipient_limit parameter (default: 1000) controls how many recipients the Postfix smtpd(8) server will take per delivery. The default limit is more than any reasonable SMTP client would send. The limit exists to protect the local mail system against a run-away client.

so, having said that, are there people on your system that send to more than 100 at once? is there one in particular that is sending too much so you're trying to block their access?
