How about turning that around:
If you have posted a picture in the past, and it exceeds the limit, it's
held for my approval.
I normally approve large attachments if they meet the sniff test.
I have received scanned jokes.
I have received 50MB attachments.
I have received response emails to the reflector that included original
attachments ... which is redundant anyway.
I have received emails that are so obviously bloated, like 32bit TIF files.
I approve/release posts to the list if they are not blatant abuses. So,
in reality, the current limit is easily bypassed by me. I get maybe
three notices per week that a post is oversize. It's really not that
much. Many times I go to the administrative interface to approve it to
find out that the submitter has retracted it, and sent a new one that
gets under the limit.
I deny maybe two or three emails a month. It's a very small number, and
most people are aware.
I normally don't use my phone to do email, but sometimes I do, and a
large file will clog it up for a while.
