Hallo All,

A group that I own has just been sent a 43MB file, which clogged my email system for quite a
while; and it is still hung in my email server. The member wants to send it again !!!

Is there a way to limit the allowable size of an email sent to the group ?
You can limit the size of photos but I don't see any setting for files
other than disallowing them, allowing them, and two choices allowing
only moderators to upload.

You could make a policy for members to upload their own files so they
(not you) would have to deal with the file size, and then I believe it
wouldn't be in an email to the group. Or maybe set it so only mods can
upload them. If you do that and you're a moderator, you still might
have to deal with a large file even if only mods can upload them.

If you set it so members can't upload files, let them know to get in
touch with you and have them place their file in a Dropbox (or
similar) account and send you an invitation to download the file. Then
you can upload it. This may not be a frequent request, so it might be
the way to do it.
