[Box-Admins] Legitimate Attachment Size

[Casey Ransberger]

While I was clearing out the spam queue (which, due to survival obligations, I can't do as much as I'd like to) I found that all of the messages in the queue which were legitimate were being blocked because of size-of-message. Usually the culprit was attached MC stuff, and it was usually some number of K over the limit. 

To my mind, if MC package updates attached to email messages wherein authors want feedback are getting stuck in the spam queue, we have probably two issues:

1) MC archives are fatty. 

2) Since we need to be able to shuffle them around, as well as whole images, our limbo bar isn't tall enough for our current data needs.

I haven't looked into it yet, but I'd bet we can modify the size of an acceptable message. I have a personal feeling that we ought to double it. The maximum probably hasn't been looked at for at least one Moore's storage/bandwidth cycle.

Thoughts? I'd particularly like to hear from folks who have Mailman experience. And all Box-Admins for good measure. 

Sorry to pick on you: Ken, Randal.


Just a thought, feel free to shoot me down,
