Hi Norm,

Is there some de facto or de jure upper limit to the size of an Email?

Methods of limiting include fetchmail(1)'s `-l' option that leaves the
email on the remote POP3 or IMAP server and just states its too-large
size instead, and postfix's `message_size_limit', see postconf(5), that
defaults to 10,240,000 bytes.

I'm not sure if Norm is talking about sent or received (or both) messages.

It looks like rawbw.com has a limit of nearly 40 MB on sent messages,
according to its SMTP dialog:
    250-SIZE 40000000

Norm, you should see something like that if you add -snoop to your send
command.

Gmail has a limit of nearly 35 MB:
    250-SIZE 35882577
