- You can send mail to yourself via post.d.c.u by addressing it to
- kevin%kncowans.demon.co.uk@post.demon.co.uk
-
- But what size limits do you want to test? I have received mails larger
- than 1MB and AFAIK there is no limit imposed on the size of mail
- handled by Demon, so sending mail to yourself via Demon for that purpose
- isn't going to prove anything. This is not necessarily true for the
- internet as a whole, however. If in doubt, it is probably safest to
- restrict or split your mail into 50Kb files.
