Put down the attachment and walk away slowly...
There are two services that offer drop boxes for large e-mail attachments. Dropload & YouSendIt. If you're trying to send someone a large-ish attachment, and his or her e-mail system has attachment size limits which prevent your message from being delivered, try these. You just plop your file in the drop box and your chosen recipient is sent an e-mail with directions on how to download the file. The files are automatically swept off the server after a time (2 & 7 days respectively).
Thanks to J-Walk and his commenter Ace Davis for the links.

Have you ever experienced any privacy issues with either "Dropload" or "YouSendIt?" It looks like it has been nearly two years since you posted this and I was curious if you've had any problems or concerns as a result of using their services.

I've used both sites several times and never had a problem. You should read both companies' privacy policies though, if that is a concern. I never use it to handle sensitive material (e.g. something from work), and I think that's generally a good guidelines for services like these.
