Just because something is quick and easy doesn't make it
a good idea.
You might refer your users with large files to
http://www.yousendit.com or a similar file-transfer service.
how about everyone get off the soapbox please. he didn't
ask whether y'all thought it was "right" or "wrong" or
"good" or "bad" to do what he's doing, and it really isn't
anyone's business but his. He's serving a customer - i
guess this is just classic, stereotypical 'customers are
idiots, and always wrong' IT mentality coming through.
if he wants to offer to his customers the ability to send
large messages via email, then that's between him and his
customers, not the peanut gallery. if you have something
helpful to add, like a possible solution to the issue,
then by all means, do so.
Thank you for your wise and considered comments.
Apparently you missed that I offered an alternate quick and
easy solution that doesn't create problems with the mail
plant. No soap box here, just pointing out that
screwdrivers don't make good hammers.
