I don't remember a limitation for the size of a single mail from the protocol. That's why maybe I don't understand your arguing about big e-mails. When a user sends a 1GB e-mail - so what? Open connection, HELO, MAIL FROM, RCPT TO, DATA, ....1GB... END, voila. It just takes a bit longer than the average 5KB e-mail, but that's not the point. Some old Pentium based e-mail servers with 128MB RAM will probably die on such a mail, but a current multi-core multi-gigabyte RAID based clustered and whatever else mail server will take it without a problem. mfg zmi -- // Michael Monnerie, Ing.BSc ----- http://it-management.at // Tel: 0676/846 914 666 .network.your.ideas. // PGP Key: "curl -s http://zmi.at/zmi.asc | gpg --import" // Fingerprint: EA39 8918 EDFF 0A68 ACFB 11B7 BA2D 060F 1C6F E6B0 // Keyserver: www.keyserver.net Key-ID: 1C6FE6B0
