Not even, I would say. Though I have no idea what is in the code, it appears
that SIMS has no special limits on attachment size. Someone else reported a
100MB attachment, which is bigger than any attachment should ever be, and
I'm here to report that the disk space limit appears to be pure speculation
as well. At least in my version 1.7
The story: I have a 7100/66 running only SIMS with just a few clients on a
500 MB Hard drive. One person was sending a 20 MB attachment. I saw the data
transfer lights blinking wildly on the hub and checked up on the server as
the hard drive space slowly disappeared. I was down to 3 MB or so when the
mail finally finished uploading to the server and/or I managed to delete a
few megs of unneeded files (I forget which happened first)
That was somewhere in the middle of a 200+ day, no reboot cycle I went
through on that machine. SIMS handled it without a hitch. I'm still in awe
at how rock solid this software is.
