It wouldn't be hard to learn how to do this in Unix.

There are plenty of tutorials on the net on setting up Postfix on OS X, 
then you would only need to set a cron job (`man 5 crontab`) to 
`uuencode /usr/local/.spsnaps | sendmail address at isp.net`. I'd 
personally wrap the attachment in MIME headers, but you don't need to.

2gig is a lot to be emailing on a regular basis, of course, so I don't 
know if this is really a solution, or whether you could safely delete 
the datafile. But your issue with Spector Soft is easily worked-around, 
so shouldn't be an objection (I'll even shell in & do the configuration 
for you, if you like, at my usual hourly rates).

Stroller.
