'Not with the MTA' comes first to mind. BTDTGTTS
- For purely 'internal use, we did it for blank forms, instruction sheets and
templates, legal and banking documents intra-office and inter-office (HQ and
branches).
But I advise against using attachment *size* or even attachment *type*, as you
will miss things you want and capture things you do not want.
What worked for us were synthetic user ID's - eg the sender specifically
addressed a given message to the ID of the storage folder(s), such as
'blankforms@???'. We DID have Exim accept only our own staff as senders.
The material was stored as-sent in ordinary IMAP folders and sub-folders.
Those who had the need - and no others - were given access by ordinary secure
authentication - any such IMAP folder can support an arbitrarily large 'group'
of users.
Nothing was webified or published externally with that system. It was left just
as you would have it in any other IMAP folder, so users had to extract the
attachment as needed for viewing, printing, editing, with their MUA.
But we all know how to do that already, so no training load.
If it is web-access you want, private, in-house, or to the whole world, there
are hundreds of web publishing tools, and they have their own security and
privilege control and upload/download/management toolsets.
Most Mailing List Managers also have conversion tools or 'hooks' to them so as
to publish their archives on the web.
But 'Horses for courses'.
No need to involve an MTA or MLM, except possibly to notify interested lists of
folks that a new document or photo has been made available.
For the purpose you cite, adopting an existing web publishing tool - designed
for the purpose, and with lots of testing and experience, security features
(careful with those!) and their own support groups - should be faster and
easier than trying to train and maintain Exim (or any other MTA) to do a job not
relevant to its primary purpose. Gettign the material In is only part of hte
job. You still need tools to edit, move, or delete it. Not to mention preventing
the unwanted...
HTH,
