Another alternative: educate people about FTP. You know, the *other* Transfer Protocol. SMTP is for simple messages. FTP is for files.
There ya go. Tell 'em CJ sent ya.

One of these got caught in an email loop and generated so many transaction log files that it killed the server. We spent the good portion of a day recovering from that disaster. Most of our customers have reasonable limits 10-15MB. Have them use Winzip. It will save them time and you headaches. Just tell them the story above and imagine what their CEO would say if he/she finds out it was them who caused him/her a delay in getting the CEO's email sent. They might find themselves on the unemployment line like the guy above did.
