Re: [SAGE] choosing the proper max SMTP message size

[Brad Knowles <brad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's a process solution, not a technical one. Unless you're going to  
allow unlimited size messages, there are still going to have to be  
technical measures you have to take and parameters that are going to  
have to be changed on a regular basis.

And specifying 10% aggregate growth per month in your total disk space  
as your "permanent solution" isn't likely to make the bean counters or  
"annual budgetists" very happy.
