Package: exim
Version: 2.05-1
Severity: wishlist
Would be possible to add another size limit to exim such that it would
defer further delivery of large messages until a certain time?
Perhaps something like...
message_delay_size = 1M
message_delay_times = 03:00-07:00
Thus, any message larger than 1MB would not be delivered until between
3am and 7am local time. This would allow people to send large emails
without it clogging up the outgoing pipe during peak hours.
I suppose you could also apply this to incoming mail by returning some
sort of temporary error to the sender. It would probably be best to
use different configuration value names, though, if this were to be done.
