Why does the Ex. Migration Wizard create large .sec files from seemingly small GroupWise mailboxes?
462999
There are a bunch of reasons for this but it is a known issue or normal behavior so at least you do not have to panic. The way GroupWise and Exchange store mail is very different. Plus the file system on the servers is different. And you are destroying the Single Instance Storage by moving mailboxes. So you have at least three things working against you. You probably want to look into imposing mailbox storage limits, and/or one of the third-party data archival tools like EMC or KVS Enterprise Vault because that Exchange storage is going to get out of hand very fast!

That is because Bulletin Board systems seperate messages from "files" and put them in seperate areas.\n\nAlso messages require less overhead and sysop attention than 'files'.  As a pre-internet BBS operator files coming from users carried a lot of risks (virus's, copywritten content and so forth).. Also in the 8.3 file name days an accurate description of the file also had to be maintained (usually with the file_id.diz files that were contained in the archives. \n\nThe transmission of files from one site to another also incurred a lot of time and long distance charges. As a Fidonet/Nanet NEC I could transfer thousands of messages in a compact archive in just a few minutes but 'FILES' took hours remember we were all dialup at that time and I stopped being a BBS Sysop just before the 56K V.90 modems became popular.  \n\nIf you are referring to Forum software that is also because most of them use some sort of SQL database to store the messages and retrieval and storage of a text message takes milliseconds and when you are dealing with thousands of users requesting messages every second every millisecond counts.  \n\nAlso most websites that host the forums don't have unlimited bandwitdth nor unlimited storage.  With text you can do a lot with a few hundred dollars per month website if you add the bandwidth involved in transferring program files you can quickly start paying a thousand dollars per month in either storage space or bandwidth usage. Then there again is the added maintenance involved in ensuring that the files don't contain virus's or trojans, are named correctly and also do not contain copywritten content. Way too much work involved.

Well, it sounds like the program is trying to move some structures from the original to conform with what it expects, and finds that it can't.  Then it writes them as original.  Probably has something to do with the copy protection on the original disks.  If it works, use it would be the best advice.

The mail server itself (sendmail, postfix, qmail) might have a restriction in its configuration for 2 megs. You'll have to check them out as well.\n\nAdditional: Do you have to restart the web server for the new settings to take effect? What's the error message? Anything in the web server error logs? Could it be a space issue (as in where SM puts things might only have a meg of free but the others put them in /tmp which has enough).\n\nDid you look at the wiki for SquirrellMail?\n\nhttp://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/AttachmentSize\n\nThere seems to be lots of good info there.

You can either zip it into a bunch of little files or get a email service that will let you send larger attachments, like Gmail.

Attachment probably contains virus or other suspicious payload.\n\nYahoo and many other mail-service remove danagerous attachments automatically

I use the free php script know as w2box. You can customize it for allowable file types and sizes.\n\nYou can find it here:\n\nhttp://labs.beffa.org/w2box/\n\nHere is the "demo" so you can see if it's what you have in mind:\n\nhttp://labs.beffa.org/w2box/demo/

Low level format! It's easy, safe but it takes a long time! :). You can find all sort of software that can do this!

Depending on your client, you should be able to configure them as seperate accounts.  What e-mail client are you using?

Very few providers, if any, will allow an attachment of that size because most receiving mailboxes can't handle something that large.  It's called a mail bomb, and it's a very effective denial of service attack.\n\nOn top of that, sending email that large is RUDE.  Find another way to transmit it, like the free web space that comes with almost all ISP accounts.  Or use a free service like http://www.mydatabus.com or http://www.sharebigfile.com/

Thats a outlook "feature" that extracts potientially dangerous attachement files like *.exe; *.com, *.bat, *.vbs, and so on.\n\nThere are ways to circumvent that:\n- Either you turn that option (security)\n- Or you just zip the files before you send them.\n\nGo for option 2!

I suppose Microsoft has increased the security level to stop decompilation. This had been on their agenda while developing VB2005
