Why doesn't the GSRC Mailman system handle large attachments? Q: The mail handling package that manages email for the various GSRC workgroups is configured to bounce email messages that are larger than 40k. This makes it difficult to send attachments. Why? A: There are several reasons that Mailman is configured this way: However, many people use attachments for collaboration, and we intend to make it easier to use attachments with the website.In the short term, the workaround is to place the file in the workgroup forum and ask people to go to the forum to upload the article. For more information, see How do add an article to a forum? and How do I attach or upload a file to an article? One workaround would be to have an alias that is not indexed for large attachments, or to have a way to mark large messages as approved mark them as not-to-be indexed. Another solution is to use CVS for collaboration and sharing of files. |
