  Originally, 10 MB (when most ISPs were limiting to < 2 MB).  Three
years later, Gmail increased their limit to 20 MB.  Others have gone
further.  The world moves on.

  How many exploits have relied on SMTP at all?  Sendmail practically
invented remote root exploits.

  If you're planning on coming back with "that's why I switched to
Postfix/Exim/whatever", then please realize you're arguing my point
for me.  :)  The world moves on.  If software doesn't move with it,
people move to different software.

  Yah, me too, but I'm a curmudgeon.  :)  My employer doesn't pay me
to be a curmudgeon.  My employer pays me to make IT happen.
