Hello

I am sure this is a question that has been asked many times before.

Is there any way to limit the size of the attachment a user can send from
within Pine?

I also have a customer that wishes to prevent some pine users from
E-mailing to external addresses, has anyone come up with a way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Actually, I don't recall it having been asked.

Not from within pine.

Yes.  But it requires you have an intelligent MTA.  I'm not sure, but
generic sendmail, while quite good, is not capable of this sort of thing.
You need to get an MTA which can allow you to set rules on what goes out
on a per receipient and a per orginator basis.  

I could recommend such an MTA if you are interested.

Regards,
Ed
