This is a public mailing list, so anything you post here can be seen by the rest of the world anyway. Downsides to allowing large attachments to public mailing lists: Total storage for your attachment size is multiplied by the number of recipients. I don't know how many people are subscribed, but this is a major mailing list, so send a 1MB attachment and likely it ties up gigabytes on people's mail accounts and devices globally. Spam and malware, allowing large attachments makes life easier for distributors of unsavoury content. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
