I, personally ;-), would give everyone five meg. Why? 1) Because some people go on vacation for a couple weeks and need the space and I don't need to hassle of explaning why mail was bouncing for their friends. 2) > one meg attachments can be fairly common. 3) Ever had someone blow their quota by accident and then tried to figure out why popper wouldn't let them get their mail? Not pretty :-). 4) If you're using popper *most* people will be pulling their mail off the server anyway. 5) Besides, hard-drive space is cheap. 6) See 5, you'll make for happy customers. :-) rus rus Russ Pagenkopf (russ@ism.net)
