<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have a client who employs a lot of consultants and we
provide them with an email address on the corp system and they pretty much have
to do everything through the corp systems; mostly terminal server. They
do have the ability to work offline and send the generated content into the
main office.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Anyway, from time to time we get complaints from these folks
that we have email size limits in place even though for larger stuff we give
them ftp access that we can throttle. I think our limit is somewhere
around 10 meg right now although we tell them it’s less so we can deal
with the overhead they won’t understand.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>So I get an aol user today telling me what an asshat I am
(which may or may not be true, but for the purposes of discussion today I’m
not) and how much our systems suck because I have email size limits in place
and his email is being blocked. Of course, we never saw it in our
mailserver, which means he got hit with aol’s 16 meg size block, but he
was all talk and no listening. He then goes on to tell me about “lynux”
and how it’s free and better than the crap Microsoft has been selling us…yadda
yadda yadda; oh wait, what’s the banner on our mailserver? It’s
sendmail….but I digress.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>So, just for self-evaluation, what’s everyone else
doing for email size limits? I want to make sure we’re in the range
of the rest of the world.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
