Exchange – the new ftp server… *sigh*
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kennedy, Jim Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2014 11:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Exchange] RE: Attachment Size Redux I had a user send 8 emails of 50 MB each to 200 people in the span of 60 seconds. It didn’t crash but it created some backlogs on the queues for 20 to 30 minutes.

If so, is it still true that large attachments cause performance problems? From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael B. Smith Sent: Sunday, December 07, 2014 7:31 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [Exchange] RE: Attachment Size Redux You have a good memory. I wrote an article about that for a magazine that discussed the Exchange 2003 transport service. It doesn’t apply to modern (64-bit) versions of Exchange. From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mayo, Bill Sent: Friday, December 5, 2014 12:44 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [Exchange] Attachment Size Redux I know this topic has come up before, but I am running into a discussion about it again. I am almost certain that Michael B. Smith had a particularly informational post about this sometime back, but I cannot find it (swore I saved it, but can’t find it—also searched the current archives unsuccessfully). It is my recollection that it explained how it delayed delivery of other mail, but most importantly, that there was some maximum over which Microsoft would not support it. Did I dream all that, because I can’t seem to find this documented anywhere? I would greatly appreciate it if anyone someone has that info, whether in my recalled format or elsewhere. I would also appreciate any other links or individual information anyone has on the topic of how big is too big for email attachments. I have all the old “straw poll” messages, so I know what people are/were using as the limit, I am looking more for documentation of the potential issues caused by allowing larger attachments.
