Are you saying that sometimes, or perhaps even this time, when people
send attachments you get a lot of delivery errors? If it is because
the attachments are too large, the Sizelim keyword will probably work
better than a gentle reminder as the worst offenders seem to have no
idea how large their files are. If it is because of the type, that is
another matter.

Quoting Ian Fairclough <[log in to unmask]>:
