Inhouse sending files as attachments is by far the most convenient method to distribute documents. They can get quite large (i.e. nice powerpoint presentations). I vote for very large default spool areas (they not only send them powerpoint presentations, they also want to print them). The automatic calculation of partitions under freebsd leads to unuseable mail and print spool systems in practice.
