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.
