Sure, but the proverb that applies to that is "There are seldom good
technological solutions to behavioral problems." Someone who does that
should be disciplined. There may well be other valid business reasons for
the transport of large files.

Subject: RE: Mailbox sizes: Incoming/Outgoing message limits
Where I used to work, the most common reason for me getting paged at 3 am
was because someone was sending their Napster directories from work to home
using E-mail (this was a very large and well-known organization that
happened to be run by idiots). While the need for limits should be obvious
to everyone on this group, we are often not in a position to impose these
policies.
The truth is that if anything it is more a technical decision than business,
due to the fact that the main implication is system performance.
