Body Attachment Stripping
Tuesday, December 4th, 2007One feature of MPP is the ability it has to strip the MIME part from an email and store it on a server while replacing the MIME part with a link ot the file location.
For example you can configure all .ppt files (powerpoint) over 10MB are stripped from emails and saved onto an ftp/http server and gets replaced with a link in the email. This feature can greatly reduce the size requirements for mailboxes since just the text ends up in the users mailbox store.
Also it can reduce the load on the mailserver, where the same attachment is sent to more than 1 user on the system. The single file is stored on the server, and user A,B,C and D simply get a link to the file to download. If the attachment was 10MB, thats 30MB of space that is saved / not required (4 attachments would be 4×10MB = 40MB) !!
