To The List,
We are co-locating our MTA's and have a specific commitment with our colo provider. We are billed on 95%'tile and have been having problems recently with people attempting to send very large attachments to clients on our machines.


Recently one user decided it would be a "good" idea to send a 100MB attachment to a user, the message was bounced using the databytes file in /var/qmail/control.

However, I noticed that QMail downloads the message completely, and then bounces it with the attachment. As you can imagine, if multiple users are doing this it tends to raise our bandwidth usage considerably.

Do any of you know how to reject an e-mail with a huge attachment, without forwarding the orig. message including the attachment?

Thanks for the help,

Peter
