ABSTRACT:
The CPU of a mail server accepts input of electronic mail. The CPU judges whether or not the mail has an attached file of a data capacity larger than a predetermined threshold value. If the mail is judged to have such an oversized attached file, the CPU generates key information (or a URL and a password). Then, the CPU writes the key information in association with a name of the attached file to a file ID table in a storage device. The CPU replaces the attached file with the key information. And, the CPU increments by 1 a counter value (N) representative of the number of times an attached file storage service has been used (N=N+1) The CPU outputs the attached file to a user-wise attached file storage area for storage therein. When the mail is not judged to have any oversized attached file or when the attached file is stored in the user-wise attached file storage, the CPU sends the electronic mail to a destination mail server.
