Maximum Attachment Per Message question

Hello,

If my server is not setup to respond automatically to any kind of
spam/virus/etc. is there still a danger for my mail server being
overloaded with automatic responses? (e.g. The kind of responses that
the Maximum Attachment Per Message setting is supposed to stop.)

Are there any kind of viruses or other malicious email that have a high
number of attachments? So far the only thing that is tripping that rule
is people sending tons of picture attachments to friends.

Can I safely set it to something high like 100?



Thanks,
Chris.
