I can do better! I had a smart ass trying to backup his harddrives using email, no less than 2Gig!
So what? Get enough spool space in /var/spool/mqueue and a platform with 64 bit file support and it works just fine. I have some boxes where the users send 100+ MByte mails on a regular base. Once you beat the procmail into submission, this simply works.
sendmail is one of the very best pieces of free multi-platform software that is available. I really admire the people that wrote it. Kudos to everyone that wrote on this software. All hail Eric Allman. ;-)
It is mean, tough, hard to understand and configure but definitely industrial strength, proven and reliable. Something you can't say of all this sissy "free" software around today.
And once you get a hang of "left side, right side" rules, you can read sendmail.cf like normal text. The idea of using an algorithmic concept for a config file still shines after twenty years of development. So much for "GUIs".
sendmail rocks
