It depends on how high you want to go and what your server configuration is. If you have only 500MB free space left on your log drive and someone sends you a 499MB attachment, your server may "freak out".
Once again, this limit should be dictated by the business need, not when your server's capacity. If your company needs to send 200MB attachments[1], you need to deploy an SMTP server that can handle several of those simultaneously.

Jim Blunt -----Original Message----- From: Exchange Discussions [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 12:20 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Reasonable message size limits This is a good question. I have personally limited it to 2MB (except the directors) with a hard ass approach at first. I will be raising it in a bit once people remember that they need to be reasonable in what they send (IE the guy in accounting who tried to email a 98MB file to himself at home). I am also curious to hear what people are limiting it to. ------ Dustin -----Original Message----- From: Jasa, Ken [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: February 27, 2002 12:01 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Reasonable message size limits Hello, I have been required to raise the message size limit on all connections to 20Mbs. We have already seen it cause problems across one of our links. I know it is dependent on the bandwidth and hardware. I just wanted to get some ideas of what size limits other companies are using. Thanks.
