Ban??? Where do you get that idea?

Dreamhost gives you gigabytes of space even on the basic $9/month plan, and they add more storage over time until you basically have unlimited space.

The one thing they don't like is to use your account as a place to back up a 500 gig drive. You will get an automated warning if you do (based on my experience). The rule of thumb is use, don't abuse.

Abuse or not just their call. Hosting the files for emails aren't general web hosting.

Yes, point taken. A couple of megs here and there, accessible via URL, shouldn't concern them. If it gets to be gigs, then it might become and issue.
