I'd guess so, given the special mention of exim integration to try to
qualify as on-topic.

Indeed. But ISTM that's the very point of this app. It *prevents*
your users from sending large files via e-mail.

I assumed it integrates with common web servers, but there's no
information about that on their web pile. So you might be right,
that the web server is part of the package.

That's optional, according to the web pile.

The idea actually sounds interesting to me. Since I can't convince
my users (especially in mktg/sales) to send links to documents rather
than copies of documents, this sort of approach would solve the
problem.
I'd prefer an open source implementation that works with Apache,
though.
