So I put the restrict receipt to 3megs and that stopped it but... every time I check me mail I get the message. xyz has tried to send you a file of 10mb which was stopped or some thing along those lines. how do I stop getting this message everytime I check me mail team?? keep up the good work, and get off each others backs.

If your ISP is still sending these messages, then its likely that someone is still trying to send large files. Its an automated process from the ISP perspective, so it should not continue unless a file was still being sent.	godfather (25)

174134	2003-09-09 09:19:00	As I see it, you have applied a restriction at your end, however your ISP doesn't know that and will continue to send the bigger files? You need to get the larger files bounced by your ISP, or go in via webmail and delete them yourself . An analogy: Its like putting a small slot in your letterbox but only on the side where you remove the mail from . The postie side of the letterbox still has the larger slot, and they keep putting the mail in as per normal . They don't know about your restrictions . It probably works as intended over a company Network I suspect, but perhaps not for dial-up .	godfather (25)
174135	2003-09-10 08:14:00	Oh Mighty Godfather You got it in one, it was from my work which is networked. I opened up the pearly gates and took the large file. took forever on 56k Modm. then told sender, do it again and youre wearing concrete galoshes. Thanks again Patrone Hugh	Hugh Jarse (1169)
