Certainly not for all mail, just
for these circumstances... but I understand you want to avoid
situations where this is done accidentally.
I think a couple of people had a
size test, and you could key off of the number of recipients in
combination with this to perform a custom action like routing or
deleting... or route it to a program alias that sends you an
alert notification.

Hi,
Nope, we don't want to go that
way for ALL mail. We''ve got several options to upload files for
several purpouses within our school. Our website has lot's of option
for that but...... sometimes we want to send something as an
attachment. In this case it was a newsletter for our staf which was
supposed to be about 200-300 KB, we want those newsletters sent as
attachment, not as a link.
For some reason the
newsletter ended up to be a Word document 5MB large and was sent
without realising it. After that it was sent once more. This time as a
PDF file....... which happened to be 33MB large and was created using
the Word document as a base. :-( Both mails went to 250+ recipients.
The first mail did not kill the mailserver, the second did. :-(
For exceptions like these I want
to have a tool to catch them before it fills up the server.

How about implementing a
web-based upload/download site for this. I've done this for a couple
of graphic design firms to allow their customers to upload files, which
then sends the intended recipient an email notification with a link to
download.
Much, much more efficient than
SMTP (mail encoding generally runs up the file size about 33% or so),
faster, and much less network traffic in a distribution situation since
many of the recipients will not download the file.
Also doesn't hang the user's
mailbox when sending/receiving for several minutes while
uploading/downloading.

Hi,
We are a school and:
- sometimes someone needs to
send a large e-mail (20-30 MB) to one of the staf or students.
- several times a day we send
e-mails to large groups of students so the BCC field might contain up
to 1500 addresses.
Both items are no problem
until they are combined like some tried today. :-( Suddenly I lost
around 15GB of diskspace on my mailserver. At least that is what IMail
tried because I only had about 10GB left on my mailbox drive. Guess
what happened?
Is there a way using Declude
Junkmail to flag this situation and stopping the e-mail while still
allowing the two items above?
I'm currently using Declude
2.16, Junkmail Std and AV Pro.
