The mail server isn't a damned database/filing system for files, that's what your file server is for. For every bloody attachment users stuff the mail server with you could have had hundreds, thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of regular e-mail messages. I swear 90% of all space used by mail servers is plain and simply attachments that nobody ever uses again. Please, everyone, arrange for trucks to dump tonnes of dirt into 90% of the rooms in your house. No different.
