Yes, but does nanog have the power to prohibit list users from using said mail agent? It does (should?) however, have the ability to drop/refuse attachments (possibly over a certain size) - like Mr. Li's 54Kb gift to the list. Me thinks there is more than one way to skin this cat - but that dropping sizable attachments is probably the path of least resistance - if the problem at hand is seen as keeping questionable email and their payloads off the list. Now, on the other hand, if what you really want to do is change the world....... then maybe your onto something. ;)
