Re: What DO you lose with Linux ???
Hi,
Wouldn't it be nice if POP mail boxes could be set to
automatically bounce messages over a certain size as soon as they arrive at
the ISP :-) I doubt I'd get so many large attchments if I could do that,
actually it's only one person who regularly sends me large attachments and I'm going to
start sending them back 10 times when he does it :-) Or would that also be a
denial of service?
