email RFC's?

[Andrew Mathews]

I've been searching for a reference to any specifications concerning 
maximum message sizes for email. I've googled a fair amount but not 
found anything specific other than RFC 1870 which doesn't give a 
commonly accepted maximum size, just a 64k minimum capability. I'm 
trying to provide some valid documentation to support my argument that a 
mail server is NOT an server for large attachments, that's what we have 
an ftp server for. Is there a standard for the maximum or is it simply 
set by the individual isp? (we had a 10M limit and people are howling 
since it's been reduced to 2M)
