Don't you have Webmail with your webhost? You can use webmail to send those large attachments. If you also support IMAP, you can prepare the mail on your PC, put draft on IMAP folder on your webhost and just logon and send from your webhost. Some webhosts are now starting to offer altertate port for mail for those ISPs/corportations that block outgoing port 25. You may want to look into that as well.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10511558 Mon, 14 Jun 2004 22:13:15 EDT Re: Stupid http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10509536 2kmaro : Rather a repetitive answer, but I've dealt with many clients who simply were not FTP saavy, or else did not have access to FTP (corporate restrictions), or even to the WWW from within a corporate firewall. But I still needed to exchange large (4-8 MB) files with them. Email attachment was pretty much the only way. My Cox email system has a 5 MB limit on attachment size (actually more like 4.5MB) and that even pushed me into getting my own site with pretty much unlimited email size restrictions. But that overcame the 4.5MB limit but at a $$ cost. I'd have loved to have had this service for free back then.

But the point is almost moot for me now, since Cox now requires that ALL outgoing email go thru their server, once again nullifying alternate ability to send anything larger than a 4.5MB file. :(:(

With the HTML mail, the simplest one or two line mail is now about 4-5KB of storage. Still, the attachments is what takes most of your mailbox.

There's a reason all SMTP servers let administrators configure what the maximum permitted MIME attachment size is, you know. And there's a reason administrators are continually DECREASING that maximum.



Liek you said thats the fault of the administration. You are supposed to set those limits for a reason. Also number of recipents etc.etc.

Durr hurr hurr, let's send this screen saver I found on some back-water website to all members of the company! Hurr hurr!


Reminds me of an employee at Best Internet shortly before my employment there. Apparently he came across some Win32 application called "BRAINTEST.EXE", and after playing with it, decided it would be intelligent to send it as an attachment to all the members of the company. If I remember correctly, the executable was about 3MBytes.

The end result is that he managed to crash the internal SMTP server intended for employee mail -- the disks filled, and (at the time) sendmail wasn't very nice about handling out-of-disk errors.

After the SAs figured out what the hell was going on and proceeded to empty out the queue, only one employee responded to the Email. All he said was:

"Looks like someone failed the test..."

Like you, I too think Gmail is worthless. It's going to become spammer central, especially with disk space like that. Think of all the space spammers will have for bouncebacks. That's all spammers use Hotmail for, by the way. It's all automated...

Google's just trying to start a fight with Microsoft over services like Hotmail. I don't deny Google could do a better job (and I've WORKED at Hotmail!), but in lieu of all of Google's recent TOS changes and how anti-privacy they've become, I can safely say I really want nothing to do with Gmail.

What's the maximum message size limit?

Answer:
You can send and receive messages up to 10 megabytes (MB) total. Any message that exceeds this limit will not be delivered to your inbox and will be returned to the sender. If you attempt to send an email that exceeds this limit, you will get an error message and your email will not be sent.

We offer web and FTP uploads/downloads, and we accept zip disks and CD-R, but for most idiots clients, it's simpler to attach it to an e-mail, so that's what they do. And I end up with many megs in my inbox. Shrug.

It's not the 1gig that is the primary feature of GMail - it's how they've designed the mail threads to appear as "conversations". Essentially, the 1GB is just to augment the ability to use the GMail box as a life recorder - essentially a lifetime storage of all your Internet correspondence.

Some people transfer many large files via e-mail, and like to keep copies of everything. I do this at work so when someone calls up and complains, I can go back 2 months and verify who said what and when about which file.

I have over a gig of stored e-mails on my work PC.

Yeah, 1 email msg is like 2k. However, email messages with attachments can be over 10 megabytes.

I'm sure people will utilize the space they were given in gmail to send attachments back and forth.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10507188 Mon, 14 Jun 2004 13:58:56 EDT Stupid http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10507133 DaMaGeINC : Gmail is another stupid product of the internet. 1gig of email.
