In this pay-per-bandwidth age, this is sadly the truth among many asps for isp That host email and web services. Ie, people love to upload images and video. The simple Fix for images would be to have a java app or activex that resizes the image to the size needed Before its uploaded to save bandwidth and use the user's cpu cycles to do the legwork instead Of your server. While this seems obvious, developers don't get it. Especially in these Times of 10 megapixel digital cameras that make 5 meg files.
Upload your image here...just resize it, crop it and do a bunch of work on it manually before you Upload...then people say "to heck with it. Too much work." What ever happened to making the computer work for US. Make mail smarter. Make it reject mail That is too large ahead of time. The only thing worse than the case you stated is if the server, by chance, only had 100 megs free drive space. Not only did the transfer sit and take place, but you run the risk of running the drive out of space. - Peter R NextPages, LLC -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matrosity Hosting Sent: Saturday, November 04, 2006 9:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Maximum size email That's a much needed feature, ipswitch! There's little point in even having a setting like that if it sucks up bandwidth/resources in and out to tell someone that it's too large.
