The main purpose of any large attachments would be very limited - large backtraces/logs for troubleshooting purposes, and their utility is short lived.

A number of years back it became necessary to limit the size of messages that could be posted to the samba mailing list. The current limit is 64 KBytes. While it continues be be desirable to block large spam messages, I believe it is time to ask current subscribers for their preferences. This list is here to serve the wishes and needs of our subscribers. We wonder if the time is right to review the size limit of messages that can be sent to this list. Please help us to understand your wishes. What size limit should we observe for messages to this list? 1) 64 KBytes 2) 128 KBytes 3) 256 KBytes 4) 512 KBytes 5) 1 MByte 6) 2 MBytes 7) Any size Please indicate your preference by reply to this list.

I think 64kb is a fine limit. pastebin.com and other sites like it are a very good way to handle large files.

What size limit should we observe for messages to this list? 1) 64 KBytes There is a 40K limit on the two lists (ivtv-users and ivtv-devel) that I moderate and I consider this a pretty good limit for most emails. I usually let a message through if the user is just above otherwise I instruct him/her to either compress the attachment or post it somewhere and provide a link. -- John M.

I think that half a meg should always be more than enough text even if you attach a pcap or a log file. If it is going to be over 512K it needs to go into a bug report. -- W.
