Actually since we didn't have a 3rd party tool, we simply bumped up the diagnostics on the IMCs and archived all traffic. Then ran scripts etc to analyze the pile of messages captured.
Since you have Promodag and it does analyze tracking logs, your job will be a lot easier than what we did.

What program did you use to log your mail? Currently, I have Promodag...would that do it?

We were originally looking at 2, 4 and 6MB limits. To reach that number we logged all of our internet mail for two weeks, and found out that only 0.08% of the entire message volume was over 4MB (that is about 300 messages a week for us). And, only about 10 of those were actually business related and those were sent by a certain group of people. That means that setting the limit at 4MB would impact only a miniscule amount of messages. That was acceptable impact for management. We ended up making an exception for that group (10MB) and now we do have a working message size limit. Setting a limit after a study like that felt a lot better than pulling a number out of you know where.

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.
