Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] Very Large Uploads Problem

[Richard L. <ce...@l-...>]

It's not that my personally-hosted webmail won't work, because it does

It's that they have to snoop on everything all the time anyway, so
trying to bypass their policies is just gonna get me burned sooner or
later.

I don't MIND it, really, it's just a PITA...
