@alexcleac That reminds me of a company I used to work for. Our department (IT) closely followed the amount of space needed on our mail server. Whenever space became less than about 6 months worth of new emails, we'd expand the virtual disk so that there would be enough room for approximately another year. Our marketing department decided that everyone should use a uniform signature including the company logo 1/2

They didn't talk to IT about this and didn't realise that the logo they used was multiple times larger than the mails that they were included in. The result was that disk space which should have sufficed for nearly a year got filled in less than an hour.

Management decided that marketing should be accommodated. Rather than using a signature with a link to the logo and causing everyone to edit their signature to a new one, IT had to expand disk space by A LOT!
