I've seen it cripple a Solaris mail server when someone (on the IT staff no less, but not the person in charge of the Unix machines) sent a 50MB or so message to a couple hundred internal email addresses. Between people downloading the message and it trying to send the message, the machine was crippled for a couple hours.
