Imagine trying to email a 50MB image

It doesn't stop some clueless folk trying - and unfortunately you can't
punch someone in the face over the 'net :/

Its not a real problem, my mail server can take 300 Mbyte as it is currently
setup.

I really don't know what the theoretical limit is here - but I know if
someone sent me a 50MB image and it sat there clogging the connection I'd
be ****ed off, even more so if it turned out to be something that I
couldn't give a crap about, or something that could just as easily be sent
as a few hundred KB of JPEG.

(TNP - I can understand there are times when that kind of size is
necessary; been there myself sometimes - but only when agreed in
advance and the systems involved are set up to handle it. My gripe's with
the clueless who have no concept of file sizes, working with images, or
how the systems involved can or can't cope - and sadly they seem to far
outweigh the ones who *do* have a clue)
