Michael: We started off by allowing attachments, but that quickly clogged the server. We then limited it to no more than 100k, but our users were rather clever and figured they could send several messages, each with 100k attachments. Again, that jammed things up (especially with one list containing about 65,000 addresses). We not do not allow attachments at all, except if an admiral wants to send a modest-sized one. We found that most people could just include what they want in the body of a message just as good as attaching a Word or Excel document. Hope that helps.

Jones Sent: Friday, November 21, 2008 14:04 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Email attachment restrictions We are preparing to launch Listserv 15.5 and were wondering what other people have done regarding email attachment size. Particularly any other universities. We clearly don't want to leave it wide open, but we don't want to be too restrictive. Thanks.
