Email containing pictures

Our law enforcement frequently needs to send pictures to email
recipients. Sometimes there can be multiple images sent to multiple
receipients. This ties up our exchange server. Does anyone suggest an
easier way for these images to get to recipients - ftp? Does anyone
have a product that would be easy to use to get the pictures
somewhere, where they are not attached to the email? Any suggestions
would be helpful. Emailing them with Outlook isn't cutting it.
 
Do you have a server where they can be kept and links to the pictures sent
instead of the actual item?

FTP or a HTTP server would be the best way. A good free FTP server is
FileZilla, you can get it at
http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/filezilla/FileZilla_Server_0_9_4d.exe
Another that costs but is very good is Bulletproof FTP.

If you want a HTTP server you could either go with Apache or IIS. Windows
2000 and XP Pro comes with IIS that you can install via add-remove programs.
Apache is a very secure/customizable server that you could create secure
areas for only people you want or public available. Apaches is at
http://httpd.apache.org/.

Hope this helps.
