I would push back somewhat hard on this one. Receiving unlimited may not be so much a problem since you will be the one dealing with the disk usage and so on. Sending however, is a different story since most sites block anywhere between 10-30MB. Sometimes there will be the case where a large message will use up outgoing bandwidth only to be bounced. You also will be dealing with explaining bounce messages from external systems to your users who are no doubt thinking that it is your fault alone fo their inability to send super large files. Something like drafting a letter that an executive must sign off on, waiving your responsibility for decreased network performance, may be a useful route to take. I also find user education is extremely helpful. This is particularly so when you show them sites like these: <http://www.mailbigfile.com/> <http://www.sendspace.com/> <http://www.yousendit.com/> Showing users how you are making their job easier and not harder (as with just blocking) can really turn around the user's perception.
