This size is configurable by the sender using a flag to ctm_smail. Missing out on a delta will not cause any source tree corruption. Deltas will wait around until you get the missing one somehow (ftp, floppy disk, etc). >[I just looked at the example in -current - any delta bigger than >3Meg will not get mailed.] Remember that the 3Mb file gets converted to 4Mb of mail. This may be more mail in one batch than modem users want. If I got ctm-src at home instead of at work, I'd be bitching about even the 880Kb files we got recently. Perhaps the folks with really slow modems can convince Poul to split them off into a sub-group that has a smaller upper file size limit. Want to conduct a ctm user survey, Poul? Stephen.
