because of anti-spam actions and load of the server. if we openup this 
settings ex. to 500 and a user sends an email to 500 recipients with an 
attachment lets say 10MB ... the load on server side is incredibly high 
... close to all big hosts (which are interested on quality of there 
services and not just in quantity) do restriction on this level ...

i think in future there should be a solution in the mailclients for this 
cases ...
