Re: Stupid
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.  :(

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. |
