[sllug-members]: Email attachment limits

[Adam Barrett]

I can't speak for my place of employment, but I limit my users to 10MB.

I tell them if they need to send/receive anything larger they need to

1) reconsider what they are sending/receiving
1a) Can their receiving party get a file that large?
2) find alternatives
3) learn ftp

We have a public FTP server so they can deliver all the files they
want via it. We have also implemented a small file sharing site for
the same purpose (and those who won't learn FTP). They simply go to
the site, upload the file through a form, and a link is produced they
can mail out.

Hope this helps.
