[Mimedefang] Multiple small attachments

Mon May 27 20:49:39 EDT 2002

Hi,

Firstly I would like to say how impressed I am with Mimedefang. I'm
currently running it on an (aging) server which is now virus scanning
several thousand messages a day. Cheers!

However, I'm having a problem whereby the users within my local network
are "technically challenged". It's a college environment in the UK, so
we aren't too hard on them. Yet I still have to deal with people trying to
send 400Mb emails on a daily basis.

I think I've worked out how to cap the size of a single attachment, and
reject it if it's too high, but is there any way to restrict the size of
an entire message. I ask because of what I recently found: Some people are
sending emails with 50+ attachments which are all fairly small. Net result
- a huge email.

Evidence of this is attached below,

Thanks again,

Jon Lawrence.
