Hi, I am frustrated with my users who send large files around the office instead of using the network shares.
For instance, this is one of many emails I have sent around: "If you take the this kit it looks like J sent it to D, D sent it to you, then you sent it to me. The problem with that is just that now there are copies of this file: On J's drive or Comm drive J's sent items D's inbox D's sent items Your inbox Your sent items My inbox The comm. Drive once I save it there to be used. Which means that there are 8 copies of the same file 4MB taking up space, or a 4MB file turned into a 32MB file." My users just aren't getting it! And then they complain when they get quota messages! (and some people, when they are Important People, you cannot argue with). So, what I would like, is to write a script that parses the exchange mailbox, and removes all attachments over a certain size (say 500K) that are attached to messages that are more than 2 weeks old, or that are in sent items. I would like to write to a log file all the changes that are made then email that log file to the mailbox that was just trimmed. I will also like to have a verbose mode that allows the user when the script is run to ok each removal. I am trying to decide if I should do this in Python or VBScript. Any suggestions? Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
