I much prefer POP3 and having the mail locally (I delete it from the server once it's copied). Also, it seems as if he's downloading it from the other users (the person who sent the email) mail server and there is no way to force the other mail server to use one standard over another (although in this case a useless thought). The problem is it was not able to get into the local mail queue because of certain default settings (which at one time probably made sense). This problem would have occurred if he were using IMAP or POP3 since it never made it into his mail servers queue. This was bouncing between his server and the original sender's server. I do think a 20MB email is rather ridiculous. Even with today's age of broadband I wouldn't allow files over 10MB and I would make sure my users noticed that. I would also have a hard bounce enabled for messages that went over the size limit.
