Certainly not for all mail, just for these
circumstances... but I understand you want to avoid situations where
this is done accidentally.
I think a couple of people had a size test,
and you could key off of the number of recipients in combination with
this to perform a custom action like routing or deleting... or route it
to a program alias that sends you an
alert notification.

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.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] large mail to large number op recips
How about implementing a web-based
upload/download site for this. I've done this for a couple of
graphic design firms to allow their customers to upload files, which
then sends the intended recipient an email notification with a link to
download.
Much, much more efficient than SMTP (mail
encoding generally runs up the file size about 33% or so), faster, and
much less network traffic in a distribution situation since many of
the recipients will not download the file.
Also doesn't hang the user's mailbox when
sending/receiving for several minutes while
uploading/downloading.

Hi,
We are a school and:
- sometimes someone needs to send a
large e-mail (20-30 MB) to one of the staf or students.
- several times a day we send e-mails to
large groups of students so the BCC field might contain up to
1500 addresses.
Both items are no problem until they are
combined like some tried today. :-( Suddenly I lost around 15GB of
diskspace on my mailserver. 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.
