But DBMail is for *mail* storage, no? It is not a *file* storage system...

You've never seen email used for a companies then have you? It's a very popular file sharing/storage system even though it's not designed to do that.

Which is why there should be an internal max_size that is set to something sane (100MB? 200MB?) - and a configurable max_size setting that would allow an admin to set a *lower* max_size. Then, if someone wants to change the internal max_size, they will have to know what they are doing (to change the sources and re-compile)...
This is a configuration setting that you manage in the mail server. DO NOT replicate that which is already done in dbmail. That's just going to lead to heartache and pain for someone -- either the developers of dbmail, the admins of the mail servers, the users, or all of the above.
I would *never* allow my mail system to store individual *emails* larger than 50MB...

Well, you can configure your mail server to limit emails to whatever size makes you happy.
