I've never encountered any hard upper limit anywhere. ALthough i completely agree that email wasn't designed to be a file transfer mechanism.

I've been searching for a reference to any specifications concerning maximum message sizes for email. I've googled a fair amount but not found anything specific other than RFC 1870 which doesn't give a commonly accepted maximum size, just a 64k minimum capability. I'm trying to provide some valid documentation to support my argument that a mail server is NOT an server for large attachments, that's what we have an ftp server for. Is there a standard for the maximum or is it simply set by the individual isp? (we had a 10M limit and people are howling since it's been reduced to 2M)
