Knowing what kind of setup you have Greg, I can believe that.

Although it has opened up a rather large can of worms.  Can the list
maintainers restrict message sizes to less than a meg?  I honestly
can't imagine any possible reason for sending an attachment larger than
500K (shar files, etc) to a public mailing list.

Is it worth looking into doing this, or am I barking up the wrong
metaphor?

Regards

Tim
