I don't think size limits are that uncommon. Several of the SMTP
servers I use announce the maximum size with the SMTP extension `SIZE'
(RFC 1653) when you connect, e.g.
220 fepB.post.tele.dk ESMTP server (InterMail vM.4.01.03.23 201-229-121-123-20010418)
EHLO defun.localdomain
250-fepB.post.tele.dk
250-HELP
250-XREMOTEQUEUE
250-ETRN
250-PIPELINING
250-DSN
250-8BITMIME
250 SIZE 10240000
So it will reject mails larger than 10240000 bytes.
