How to upload file to Web File Services (WFS) system
RMA Web File Services (WFS) is a system to reduce the use of big email attachments. When you attached big attachments to the email, you are in a risk of :-
- Email is too big so the recipient cannot receive it (blockage from recipient's email system).
- Your mailbox can be full easier as it also reside in your "Sent item".
- Also wasting our server resources, resulting in more unnecessary investments to the email server. For example, if you send 15MB email to 10 recipients, the space required on sender (RMA) server will be
- RMA Email System => (15MB*11)*2 = 330MB (*11 is 10 recipients + your sent item and *2 is from the use of Exchange Database Availability Group)
- RMA Backup System => (15MB*11)*(7+4+3+3+1) = 2.97GB (assume we keep for 1 year backward)
- We might get blacklisted if the recipient's system has a strict rule, resulted in instability email communication to this recipient's organization that impacts business relationship.
In order to prevent this problem, we recommend to use WFS to upload the attachments and send the links generated into email message instead.
