The general policy of most companies is 5MB limit of Internet inbound/Outbound messages. In my opinion, too many users think of email systems as being some panacean highway for any kind of data transmission no matter the threat or inconvenience to others. I have had nitwits send out large messages which got caught in a nasty mail loop. There is no easy answer but I recommend that you approach this from a policy point of view.
Our policy here is 5MB. No ifs or butts (pun intended).

I have this customer who is unhappy about 10MB message limit size on SMTP connectors in our shared Exchange environment. Does anyone have any scary stories about what happens when people try to send too many messages that are too large? What is a reasonable size for SMTP message? Our servers originally had higher limits but a few times large SMTP messages crashed the servers. I just need to convince this customer that it is not a good idea to send large messages. Thanks!
