Different lists and idiot admins
Hi!
We have the following problem: We have delegated lists to admins on-campus. One of these lists is 3.000 memebers large. Since we don't want anybody to send HUGE attachments to this list, we have a size limit in place.
Unfortunately idiot-admin-from-hell approved the large mail anyway. You can imagine what happened...
Is there a way of defining a HARD limit for the size a list message can have, which cannot be overridden by idiot-admin-from-hell (but only by us, the site admins)?
We can of course use Postfix's message_size_limit, but unfortunately this applies to all lists, even to the 3 member list that may pretty damn well use 1MB large attachments...
Idea: a limit that is computed dynamically from the number of members multiplicated by the messagesize:
if (number_of_members * message_size) > total_limit:
reject_mail()
else:
send_mail()

We're still using 2.0.12, will 2.1.x help us in that aspect?

We "solved" the problem by putting demime into the alias entry for those lists.
