Re: [Declude.JunkMail] large mail to large number op recips

Hi,   Nope, we don't want to go that way for ALL mail. We''ve got several options to upload files for several purpouses within our school. Our website has lot's of option for that but...... sometimes we want to send something as an attachment. In this case it was a newsletter for our staf which was supposed to be about 200-300 KB, we want those newsletters sent as attachment, not as a link.   For some reason the newsletter ended up to be a Word document 5MB large and was sent without realising it. After that it was sent once more. This time as a PDF file....... which happened to be 33MB large and was created using the Word document as a base. :-( Both mails went to 250+ recipients. The first mail did not kill the mailserver, the second did. :-(   For exceptions like these I want to have a tool to catch them before it fills up the server.

At least that is what IMail tried because I only had about 10GB left on my mailbox drive. Guess what happened?   Is there a way using Declude Junkmail to flag this situation and stopping the e-mail while still allowing the two items above? I'm currently using Declude 2.16, Junkmail Std and AV Pro.   Met vriendelijke groet, Bonno Bloksma hoofd systeembeheer tio hogeschool hotelmanagement en toerisme begijnenhof 8-12 / 5611 el eindhoven t 040 296 28 28 / f 040 237 35 20 [EMAIL PROTECTED]  / www.tio.nl
