Abstract
An e-mail transmission system is provided, in which an overflow of the storage capacity of a second server device by attached files can be prevented, and the attached file within the e-mail can be surely transferred from a first server device to a client connected to a second server device. The first server device 1 of the e-mail transmission system separates the received e-mail into mail main text and attached file, while storing the attached file, and appends the transfer request code of the attached file corresponding to the mail main text to the mail main text, and transfers only the mail main text to the second server device. In this system, when the client 9 connected to the second server device 2 requests the first server device 1 to transfer the attached file by using the transfer request code, the first server device 1 transfers the attached file corresponding to the transfer request code to the client 9.
