Wouldn't it be nice mail servers could use some flavor of compression on
emails between mail servers we would all enjoy bandwidth savings.
Anyway, we really need this feature to ensure our servers aren't sent 10 or
50 GB files because it's going to happen at some point.

Rod,
I clearly stated that this violates the RFC, but there are 4 facts that

which defines this behavior was written 24 years ago.
2) Regardless of how IMail currently behaves under these conditions,

then it should return a code 452 insufficient system storage
