I wouldn't want to see ppt, pdf or excel files excluded, since sometimes I
convert files to pdf to decrease file size, plus, if people want to send
examples of flyers, brochures, logos or seed lists, they might use these
formats.

This is a good plan. I'll keep the config that way.

These are allowed:

I need to know what message body size limit (this includes the size of 
any attachments) we need to have for the sake of those with a slow 
internet connection:
I have set it to two megabyte which is pretty big; maybe it should be 
one megabyte. Any suggestions? 2mb is a slow but manageable download for 
anyone with 3mb/s DSL and even 1.5 mb/s. Too slow for 56kb dialup if 
anyone still has this.
Ex. My attached pic of a Meyer Lemon is 225KB in size if that will give 
you any way to gauge download times.

And should I filter out .pdf (Adobe Acrobat) and .pps (PowerPoint) 
files? Yes? No?

The usual suspects are now filtered out, one that coud contain viruses 
or other malware:

exe
bat
cmd
com
pif
scr
vbs
cpl
zip
rar
