Hi,
I guess my last question has been stupid (?) or none of you is using an
ISDN connection, right? I still have the problem that big mails block the
connection for several minutes and would appreciate any experience/ideas.

I think it should be possible to connect an small intranet via ISDN,
actually a lot of customers do, because it's much cheaper. It's possible
to slow down the local proxy (squid)... but what about the MTA? No other
service makes so much traffic, that I would wish to limit the resource
consumption. Thx a lot for help.

At least, is there a expression to establish a router for 
big emails (let's say > 100 KB)? Thx, if you can point me to the correct 
section in the exim specification.
