New design and file attachments
We’ve moved to rock-solid new hosting at Slicehost and launched a new design. We’ve adjusted a couple of settings to add further stability. For example:
We’ve put in an attachment limit of 25 MB at the server for file attachments (that means that if you send a message with a larger than 25 MB attachment, the message will get bounced back to you). Basecamp will handle 100 MB file uploads through the web interface, but e-mail is a little tricky.
Where did 25MB come from? A little art and a little science. We tested a few things out, and looked at where performance was hitting a bottleneck, not only with Mailmanagr but also with e-mail in general. Have you ever tried e-mailing someone a 100 MB file? It’s not a pleasant experience.
Is 25 MB a hard limit? Yes in the sense that it’ll bounce if it’s bigger, but no in the sense that we’re open to discussion. 50 MB is probably the absolute limit of what we’d try, and if you find a need for that, be sure to hit us up.
