My dial up users all use there client level "don't download larger than" option. If a message is larger than say 300k, a flag comes through instead that gives the user the option to download the actual message (including when) or they can delete without download.
Seems to be that implimenting this server wide is over kill. The only pattern I've seen is with virii being between 50 and 100k. This would have many of same FP issues as time of day or day of the week. Legitimate users can and do send legitimate email at 3am on Sunday and they can have 20 meg attachments.
