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.

Yeah, ... I know, ... the dog gone PostNuke makes it a royal pain to figure out how to upload a binary to the BALUG site. Must be possible *somehow*, but after spending about 30 minutes poking around the admin. interface and various PostNuke documentation pages trying to figure out how (or if it's even possible with our web hosting provider), I got rather frustrated with it and just passed it on to the "talk" list (thinking that *might* work).
