On the MUA side, some client's don't send it. One use I can see is for a
server to refuse mail because the size is too big before wasting the
bandwidth to send it.

I setup the server at work to check this at mail and data time. At data
time, the damage is already done (bandwidth wise and transfer time), but it
won't go further if it's too big (wasting more bandwidth/time/disk
space/whatever)
