20mb is the netlink limit as well. Once had a guy zip his hard drive and
try mailing it to himself so he could reformat then pull it back.

Oh and some mail servers are stupid, if you try to send them a file that's
too large they just drop the connection AFTER megs of the email have been
transmitted, which means you retry sending it till either the timeout
period or till it goes thru. Picture the results of sending a 3gb email
once every 15 minutes for 48 hours..
