Yes. Stupid users who insist on sending 80MB files over a slow link. What's worse is that qpsmtpd may eventually accept the file, but the remote server can timeout between end of data and '220 Queued'. This will lead to the same message being retried 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, etc, until it expires from the remote queue. Trust me, someone had a serious talking to after *that* incident...
