Hi,
I apologize for this off-topic question but I think we will all find this useful. What mailfile size limits do folks support and the user mailbox quota size? We are being told by some of our users that we are too restrictive. Here at Cornell we allow 15MB mailfiles from 8am to 6pm and 100MB mailfiles from 6pm to 8am.
Wow! If you have users complaining about 15MB, let alone 100MB, you probably need to teach them that email isn't a file transfer protocol ;) If somebody needs to send a file that large, they should be emailing the link, and not the file.
Hi,
I agree but people complain about the effort to setup the file transfer vs email.. Sigh.. The complaint is more about the filesizes than the quota, I just thought I'd kill two birds with one mailfile.. :)
Jim
A 200MB quota seems more than generous, except for the fact that you're allowing them to reach their quota with only 2 messages. Perhaps allowing the users to "misuse" their email account in this way is what is causing the complaints?
