A mail message of say 5MB would clog a pipe of say 256K for some time, so if the pipe is shared (internet surfing) then the impact canbe/is quite dramatic.
 
Having said that many messages of 2MB-3Mb regularly get sent through our pipes.
 
Also It worth bearing in mind that many time the issue is lots and lots of email of say 512K which soon add up and can Cog small pipe's
 
It may be worth noting to the group your internet pipe size so that a better view could be made.

Are there any good (maybe documented) reasons why I should limit mail messages to a certain size other than if a virus was designed to take advantage of no mail limits for a DoS and bandwidth issues?

I need to prove to management that this should be planned and implemented for an E2K rollout.

TIA
