The system is supposed to scan everything for viruses.
I'm not sure what the limit is on the attachments, I assume it is the same as the limit of a posting, So to answer both questions, yours and the other poster: I have changed the limit to 250k I did not mean 250k lines. I meant 250k bytes. You may wonder why the small limit: this goes out to 4100 unique destinations. Whatever size limit I create that is larger is N X 4100; where N is that increase in limit [and for those of you familiar with the inner workings of listserv, yes it is more efficient than that and I am simplifying]. I have to see what my ISP says about hitting new limits. i.e. If I get a huge bill next month or a panic call that my bandwidth Usage has quadrupled, I have to go back. So as long as people like John don't decide that it would Be fun to test this and see what happens, we are fine. And I am not going to say which John, it was just a good name to choose. More importantly, when someone named Doug comments about not being able to do an attachment, I figure we would all prefer he could J If a Doug says he needs a bigger attachment, and the bad side hasn't happened, I'll increase again. Please don't try to post the standard 5gigs of logs that BMC Support asks for, in 250k chunks. If we needed that, we would be BMC Support. ..

What is the size limit on the attachments? Thanks for making these enhancements. My prediction is that one of the 3 will be the most common attachment: ar.cfg, activelink.log, arfilter.log J Regards, Andrew Goodall Software Engineer 2 | Development Services | jcpenney . www.jcp.com <http://www.jcp.com/> _____ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Daniel Bloom Sent: Wednesday, August 17, 2011 1:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: ADM: New posting rules I have added the ability to include attachments, And changed the posting limit from 1000 lines to 250k. This is on a temporary basis to see how it goes. Please only Attach important things, not fancy signatures. Please Note: This also increases the probability of receiving Viruses etc. so practice safe computing. Never open an attachment Without first running it through a current, reliable virus checker. Emails leaving my server are automatically checked which should help, But of course someone could disguise them in remedy workflow etc. Happy posting ..
