Hi Folks,
I figure someone here might know....
There are a whole bunch of services for "emailing" large files - mainly
by allowing one to upload the file, then sending an email to one's
intended recipient that contains a download link (e.g., filemail.com).
I also know of at least one list manager (sympa) that will do this for
large file attachments (they call it "urlizing" the file). For that
matter, tweet-a-file does the same thing for twitter.
But... for the life of me, I can't seem to find a server-side program
that I can run to do this on our system. The basic use case:
- tweak our postfix configuration so that instead of rejecting large
file attachments, it pipes them to a script that:
-- stores the file
-- generates a unique URL that points to the file
-- generates a password that goes with the URL
-- email the URL and password to the original recipient
I know that I've seen scripts like this in the past, but I've been
drawing a blank in trying to track one down today.
Thanks for any pointers.
