... which is the norm on around 80% of the servers I set up, so I don't
think much about it. The 11Mb file problem you talk about is also offset
by setting hard limits (usually between 5 and 10 mb) in sendmail.mc for
message sizes. Users are hit over the head repeatedly with a clue by
four (read "encouraged") to use other means to send larger files,
depending on their needs.
