You also have to take into consideration the limits imposed by the receiving end. Example, Microsoft.com usually only allows 2MByte messages. Hotmail; 500Kbytes.
John Matteson; Exchange Manager Geac Corporate Infrastructure Systems and Standards (404) 239 - 2981 Defeat is a state of mind. No one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality. To me, defeat in anything is merely temporary, and its punishment is but an urge for me to greater effort to achieve my goal. Defeat simply tells me that something is wrong in my doing; it is a path leading to success and truth. --Bruce Lee -----Original Message----- From: Soysal, Serdar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 12, 2002 1:29 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: SMTP message size limits Other people's limits shouldn't really have anything to do with what you're being asked to implement. What you need to do is to analyze your message flow and determine the limit that will have the least amount of impact on your business critical messages. Also, consult with your peers at the companies that your company does business with. It would be a good idea to have compatible limits. You need to ask your management what they're hoping to gain by doing this? There should be a justifiable value to business since you will essentially be putting restrictions on what your clients are capable of doing today. Make sure you have well documented procedures for alternative methods of delivery for business critical messages that exceed the proposed 15 MB limit. Make sure your support structure is prepared to handle calls of this nature. That said, if you're still interested we have a limit of 4MB for each user and an overall limit at the IMS for 10MB.

What limit are you using?
