We're O365 and haven't tested what we could get away with [1] as far as actual 
file size goes.
Before the move this year we published 15 and I allowed 18.

[1] moving to the cloud at least means users can't argue for special 
dispensation on some things, message size being one. Which is nice.  Also means 
you don't have to ability to sometime be a hero, which isn't.

Which, I believe, is what Office 365 does (for those specific numbers).

Right on - A current approach could be to advertise 25 MB as the limit and 
actually set the limit to 1.4 * 25 MB = 35 MB.  To account for the factors that 
Adam mentioned.

For most of my customers, we do 25MB. Some customers that are heavy on Outlook 
for Mac we set it a bit higher due to the ASP.NET to SMTP transcoding bloat.
