-----Original Message----- From: xansys-bounces_at_xansys.org [mailto:xansys-bounces_at_xansys.org] On Behalf Of Martin Liddle Sent: Friday, April 18, 2008 11:58 AM To: xansys_at_xansys.org Subject: [Xansys] [ADMIN] Should we allow attachments?
Since we moved XANSYS to our own server five years ago, we have had a policy of removing all attachments (with the exception of ASCII text (allowing log files to be sent)). This has been done for a number of reasons:
To prevent transmission of possible virus laden material.
To keep individual postings and the XANSYS archive to a reasonable size.
To make people think before posting.
However it is true that a picture is worth a thousand words and the Mailman software gives us a lot of control over what is filtered. So now that we have a whizzy new server, should we allow small pictures in say jpeg format? -- Martin Liddle, Tynemouth Computer Services, 3 Kentmere Way, Staveley, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, S43 3TW.
