Configuration

EGADS could be configured a number of different ways:

  • Attachment size
    All attachments greater than X KB / MB get removed
  • Sender/recipient
    Particular sender or recipient addresses could always (or never) have attachments removed
  • Type of file
    Such as Word, PPT, etc.
    Potentially also the option to convert documents to a different format, such as HTML or PDF
    With security, some users might only be able to access the "converted" format instead of the source document
  • Number of recipients
    If an attachment is sent to more than X recipients, it gets removed
    Vice versa as well -- less than Y recipients, never removed
  • Order of Operations
    These configurations would actually be an ordered ruleset, with different weighting as well
    Could apply to groups of users
