Large attachments via auto-link

Hey folks,

I’m finding that about once a month or so our support team receives or
sends an attachment that is well beyond reasonable size (I saw a 60MB
today). While our RT and mysql configs are happy with it obviously the rest
of the world’s email servers are not (as a data point google caps at a
generous 25MB - my mailservers cap at 101MB).

It would be nice if we could have RT decide that beyond a certain size an
attachment will be substituted by a download link (dropbox, yousendit,
gdrive, rt self service portal, …). I’ve given it a spot of thought and
it seems that it may be a bit of a can of worms in terms of the surrounding
features that are needed: what service and it’s configs, for what message
types [comment or correspond or both], for what users [unprivileged |
privileged; internal | external; size config for internal | external, …].

A quick search of rt-users and rt-devel did not yield any results. I’m
wondering if this has been discussed before or of anyone has given it some
thought.

thanks

Possible via MIMEDefang or similar MTA layer softwares, but that’s
outside of RT.

Doing it outside of RT might confuse our customer support folks as well as
our customers who view tickets via self-service portal since the RT ticket
history will not reflect what actually happened which can create confusion.
