You should say if it serves "both" parties needs. In other words, while it may serve yours, it may not serve mine and if it is my mail system you are sending too, YOU need to find another way. As I said, there are other ways. The simplest would be to post them to a web page and allow directory browsing of that page. www.yourcompany.com/attachments_for_martin Also if this is a regular thing, there are better methods. Its just a matter of a little user education.

When I worked for $vsc it was not uncommon to receive a mail message from a customer which contained an attachment of 100MB or more. Given that AOL doesn't support attachments over ~=3MB, the "barring other limitations" clause does seem to come into play in this particular instance. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone To: Exchange Discussions Sent: 12/18/2001 5:40 PM Subject: RE: 552 Exceeded Local Data Allocation Limit A 14MB file shouldn't be emailed. It should be FTP'd or put on a web site with a link. I would be pissed if people were pumping files that size to my users. One time, sure, constant, no way. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Peoples [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2001 2:22 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: 552 Exceeded Local Data Allocation Limit How much space is available at the aol address for e-mails? Is presume it is NOT unrestricted... Can you send through smaller attachments to the same or different addresses? Are you able to break up the attachment into files that are small enough to not warrant ftp'ing them?
