People should not send huge files or, most importantly, executable files. In fact, what I was thinking of executables when wrote "binaries" . Lately, many well-known manufacturers of antivirus progarms turned their attention towards email scanners and filtering programs for email servers. Speaking of these, I was happy to find that there is now a Linux version of F-prot virus scanner and I bet there is a way to use it to automaticaly scan the e-mail messages when they arrive on the server.
