Size limitations on email have been in place for about 15 year or
so.

One thing was to limit connect time - so that at speeds of
2400 BPS you wouldnt' run up a big bill - that rate was about $20
hour.

> If so, what are their size of limitation? and reasons?

It can be from a meg or so to unlimited.   I set the site I 
work for at 7.5MB mail sizes.  That is high, but we have an ad
agency and some artists who use the mail to get to the printshops.

At a busy site it wouldn't take many users receiving 10MB files
to take your disk space down to nothing in a hurry.
