To my knowledge there is no support for this in echo mail.

This is more likely due to echo policy that has been in force for 10+
years regarding echo areas in Fidonet.

That said a local echo area should not have that restriction BUT this
could cause various issues/problems for a sysop to control the size of
such attachment - What is to stop a user uploaading a TB of data
multiple times ?

The next issue is where such attachments go?

As it is users can subject to the correct permissions for a user
upload files to the inbound directory or even others using the URL
associated with the bbs.

This works as it is used on my system on a single permission basis but
all uploaded files still are vetted by myself before moving them into
areas available to all web / ftp & ssh users.

All this is down to the way the sysop has set up mbse and it's file
areas etc.
