I've never seen a large message crash servers, but I have seen them bring everything to a halt, all queued up til the message was sent.
What's reasonable really depends on your needs. I think 10MB is very reasonable. There are better mechanisms for file transfer than SMTP, I think. FTP perhaps?

I have this customer who is unhappy about 10MB message limit size on SMTP connectors in our shared Exchange environment. Does anyone have any scary stories about what happens when people try to send too many messages that are too large? What is a reasonable size for SMTP message? Our servers originally had higher limits but a few times large SMTP messages crashed the servers. I just need to convince this customer that it is not a good idea to send large messages. Thanks!
