Dear Squeaklanders,
we finally fixed the problem with sending attachments. It turned out to be an overly aggressive attachment content type filter. We turned off the filtering but still have the following safe guards/limitations in place:
- every message is placed in moderation mode, you probably have noticed the delays when sending a message. The reason we are manually checking every message is that virus mails have in the past used members ' mail addresses.
- attachments are limited to 200 KB size. Some of the members of this mailing list are on dial up lines and the size limit is a safe guard against sending megabytes as attachments. I can still approve larger attachments in moderation mode though.
Apologies for the confusion the attachment problem caused! Yet another side effect of having to fight of virus mails and other annoyances of today's internet.
Michael
