[olug] 40K limit on images

[Dan Linder]

On another mailing list I manage (lightly) we have raised the limit to 250K
- well below the 1.5-2MB size that most smartphones capture, but sufficient
if you need to attach a photo.

One idea I floated by the host support line is automatically stripping the
attachments, replacing them with a URL and hosting them on our website.
That way we have control over how much we keep, plus people can feel free
to attach lots of photos and the server only has to send the smaller URL
enhanced email.  Since the list provider is separate from the website I'll
probably have to write some glue code or create a directory for them to
write into with a user/password combo or ssh keys (still working out the
details).

Is this something we can look into with the OLUG mailing list system?

Just a thought...
