Re: Can we limit inbound attachment size?
|
Thanks,? Shal and Dano, for your comments.
We've already throttled back the photo sizes to 488x488 for emails, and 1024 for other image uploads. Our focus is now on managing other kinds of document attachments.
I would support the option to set a hard limit, which would simply strip the attachment or bounce the message back to sender. Giving the go/no-go option to a Moderator is a kinder, gentler approach, but it does add more admin work for us managers. I also think there's good precedent from every email provider out there to reject messages with an attachment that's just too big.
Best,
Jim

There is for photos, sort-of, but not for attachments. That's probably because for photos the limit is expressed in pixel dimensions and photos over the limit can be automatically resized to fit. With file attachments the only options would be to strip them or bounce the message.
Or... force the message to the pending queue and defer the choice of stripping, rejecting, or accepting them to the moderator's case-by-case judgment. So I guess those weren't the only options.
The only objection I can see to implementing this feature would be an argument against the added complexity. But that generally hasn't been stopping Mark from implementing good ideas.
