Good luck - trying to do the same thing myself. I had assumed you'd already gotten the OK for a policy.
Try making an argument in terms of money - are you using Enterprise version? If not, explain the growth patterns you're seeing, hard limit on the Standard IS, and how much it'd cost to upgrade to Enterprise, buy more disks, or another server vs. just imposing limits (no cost, but inconvenience and user responsibility). It's helped me to try and show the money people the inevitability of having limits, and also to give them the power to choose their own. Unfortunately, if the money folks decide that the business needs a holy freakin' ton of mail, they'll at least know what it'll cost to support it. John J.
