Any mail server that terminates the session instead of sending a 5xx is broken, as it's just inviting more waste on both sides. If the server terminates the session and blacklists you temporarily or permanently for future attempts, that's "politically" draconian, but at least it's technically wiser about bandwidth. I had a lengthy argument about this with Len Conrad on the IMail list; you may wish to look it up. As you mention, setting an outgoing size limit may help. But it will not help if you set a (generous, but not crazy) 10 MB limit and users send to domains with even lower limits. And these domains are the ones most likely to muck with your retries. It is, essentially, a no-win situation unless you counsel users to be sure that the destination domain will accept their attachments--far easier in corporate-to-corporate situations than in person-to-person. -Sandy --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
