[Mailman-Users] Stripping Attachments, HTML, Message sizes including attachments

[Jack Thomas]

Perhaps with a mail filter, you could specify the limits and strip
attachments.

I don't know what your setup for an MTA is, so it's hard to say for sure.

If they are directed to the list then strip them, if its a "regular" user,
then it's ignored, or allowed to pass.

Hope that helps.
