Size limitations on email have been in place for about 15 year or so. One thing was to limit connect time - so that at speeds of 2400 BPS you wouldnt' run up a big bill - that rate was about $20 hour. > If so, what are their size of limitation? and reasons? It can be from a meg or so to unlimited. I set the site I work for at 7.5MB mail sizes. That is high, but we have an ad agency and some artists who use the mail to get to the printshops. At a busy site it wouldn't take many users receiving 10MB files to take your disk space down to nothing in a hurry. -- bill@bilver.magicnet.net | bv@wjv.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
