Doh!  I'd swear I looked there...

Nope, it's a case by case basis.  I have the limit set to 128K which is 
more than enough for most anything, but sometimes someone has a picture 
that really would lose too much being shrunk down.  I send a warning 
message out (this is a family/friends private list) before hand and 
then approve it.  Thanks for the pointer though.

Whilst I have your attention is:

^.*@ebay.com
^.*@paypal.com

legal for the regex match in the discard_these_nonmembers

how about

^.*@citi-?ban[c|k].com

(That is to say, when it say regex does it really mean regex and what 
flavour of regex?)

^[:digit:]{4,7}[bcdefghjklmnpqrstvwxz]{2,}@.*
