Methinks that it's proxy time. Why not hack the popular MTAs so that they take attachments, spool them in a Web-accessible directory, then modify the message.
I've given some thinking to this subject, however I thought of the following objections: - users do no longer have it under control (ie don't have the choice to mail/put on web) anymore; - confidential information *could* be stored unwantingly lang online on the other side, it might be a good solution to give the cluefull users a choice: ie with an extra header: X-No-Attachment-Stealing: yes or something like that. -- /* Sabri Berisha CCNA,BOFH,+iO O.O speaking for just myself * Join HAL!!: www.HAL2001.org ____oOo_U_oOo____ http://www.bit.nl/~sabri * For the exceedingly thick-headed, experience is the only way to learn. * Sam Thomas - NANOG */
