I had an idea a while back to make an SMTP server that would automatically strip out attachments, dump them on a web server, and re-write the email with a link to the attachments.
I would still love to see something that does this type of thing automatically (such as through an Outlook plugin or SMTP relay) so you can use don't have to change your workflow to get the benefit.
- EvanAnderson 13y agoThis has been something that I've looked at a few times over the years. There have been a number of FLOSS and commercial projects that have tried to do this (and all that I'm aware of have sputtered out). A defunct product called "Mailonator" (http://web.archive.org/web/20080611060558/http://www.mailonator.com/download/index.php http://web.archive.org/web/20080611060558/http://www.mailona...) did exactly what you're talking about.
- hpagey 13y agoWe did this at my previous workplace. We stripped emails, encrypted them, and sent an email with the link to the files. Only an approved app was then able to open such files.
