sbcj, do you have a list of ALL the SMTP servers SBC uses? I'm trying to find one that allows more than 10 megs per msg. I want the ability to send larger attachments.
Thanks.

Ok, thanks. I won't manually try every one of these if you think none will allow over 10MB. I wish it would be higher. Like 25 megs. No suggestions to use something else than mail for large attachments please. My parents along with their friends will not understand FTP or P2P software. They just understand email and they want to send and receive large attachments of photos and maybe home made video clips.

San Leandro, CA | One thing I like about yahoo is that it is pretty user friendly. You can share your photos using the yahoo photo album or the brief case. All they have to do is to send out the link or an invite to particular album. |

Do they have Yahoo Messenger or MSN Messenger? You can use any of those chat software to send large files. ICQ and AOL Instant Messenger are two others that come to mind. |

Yes, they are useful, but again, they have caps on maximum file sizes. I believe the max file size is 5megs each.
So that large 760meg storage space is basically wasted. But it works for a majority of folks, so I won't complain too much.
As for IM systems like YIM or AIM, they have limits on file sizes as well. But ICQ may work for large files.
I'm sure YIM won't allow a file transfer of more than 10 megs as well. Give it a try if you have time.
And also, being behind a firewat/nat router, it makes setting up file transfers over IM systems very complicated with the port forwarding. 
The whole thing with email is that it's very easy to use and almost everyone knows how to use it now. There certainly are programs to circumvent this problem--e.g. FTP--but it's complicated for average users, such as my parents and their friends. I just wish they would remove size limits for attachments sent via email.

San Leandro, CA | When you email the link for your brief case file, there is no maximum on file sizes. It is whatever room you have on your yahoo account. You just click on it to download it. It is pretty easy. I always get lost using ICQ myself. |

No, I think I've mis communicated. What I mean is that files uploaded to your yahoo account has a 5 meg limit on each file. So while you have 260MB of total storage, each individual file you upload can only be 5MBS. I've tested this before and I was really P.O. at the time. Can you test to see if you can upload an individual 15MB file into your yahoo briefcase?

2 edits | Total upload is 15 MB but each file can not exceed 5 mb.
5mb is a pretty large file. I guess you are right. They will have to break up the file. |

yep, there you go. that's why it's not too useful for our needs. If you want to upload a video clip, it's not very useful at 5MB.

One possibility rather than emailing files is to set up a VPN between the sites and then send everything through the tunnel. I realize that a VPN would be a step up in complexity, but if they had a VPN endpoint router most of the configuration and set up could be handled on your end assuming you master the complexities/quirks of VPN routers.
So basically there is the extra cost of the routers and the encoding overhead associated with encryption that would slow down your transfer rates. Most likely the sender's upload, which would be you, would be the rate limiting factor in the transfer. Another reason to upgrade to Expert Plus, eh?  |

1 edit | Apparently the 5mb message is incorrect. I uploaded a 10mb file too. But it is probably capped at 15 mb. It didn't work the last time because I was uploading a 32 mb file. If it gets too big, you may have to split the file. |

Rats. This didn't work for me. It doesn't recognize my password. |
