FeedPostHardLimit

The FeedPostHardLimit property specifies the maximum amount of data that may be posted to newsgroups, that reside on this virtual server, by a client in a single session. The default is 20 megabytes (MB). Many administrators use this option to prevent users from posting extremely large file attachments (such as music or movies), which can cause increased traffic and overload your network. This option can also help to limit users' ability to post large volumes of off-topic or junk articles. FeedPostHardLimit corresponds to "Limit connection size" for the feed on the Settings tab of NNTP virtual server Properties. Units are in kilobytes.
