I don't >think that's helpful Well that's the way it works. And if you think about it, for most uses it's also the most efficient. The only time you reliably know how large the message is is AFTER you've received it all - so if you reject it then you have wasted both the bandwidth and resources to process it. If set up right, your user *WILL* be restricted to sending about the average rate you define as the limit - if they get a big one through, then it will be a while before they can send anything else (the more they go over the limit, the longer they will be locked out). If you really must limit their message size as well as throughput, then impose message size limits. -- Simon Hobson Visit http://www.magpiesnestpublishing.co.uk/ for books by acclaimed author Gladys Hobson.
