I haven't yet acted on this as mailing list moderator, but am inclined to reject it because 1/2 megabyte is WAY too large for broadcast e-mail sent to a mailing list. (Note, also, that it exceeds the mailing list's set size limit by a factor of ten.) My view is that the sender should put it on a Web/ftp site and post its URL, instead. E.g., you could attach it to a page on the BALUG wiki.
I recognise that you're only acting as a helpful intermediary, and regret the inconvenience.
