Forbidding attachments

I notice that RT’s site config allows one to restrict the size of attachments
allowed with email correspondence to a ticket. Is it possible to set a policy
of not allowing any attachments at all, email or otherwise? In other words,
I want to restrict my RT tickets to only plain text, and force users to
put their files elsewhere.

Will setting the attachment size to zero accomplish this?

Kind regards,

Scott

I have created a custom field and configured it to apply to tickets.

I then added this custom field to my queue but it fails to show under
"Bsaics" as I thought it should.

What should I look at to determine why this custom field is not showing
up?

Scott,

Looking at RT’s code, setting to zero won’t work. I would set it
to 1. Also set DropLongAttachments.

In my case, we put a procmail rule in, ahead of
rt-mailgate, that checks for attachments and bounces
a “please try again without attachemnts” note.
