My opinion would be "it depends" IF it is say a graphics design firm...then 10MB could likely not be big enough...or maybe and engineering design firm use Acad..etc...large files
I do not know that there is a hard fast rule on this..it depends on your environment, bandwidth connections etc... limits can be good and can kind'a help as a safety net..kind'a but then they can be a big pain too.... I do not believe it should "crash" your server...maybe slow down the transfer of mail thru the IMC in exch...due to all the processing..but not crash....It could appear as crashing maybe depending on your hardware...bandwidth..etc... I set mine at 15mb...but then I do not have graphic designers to deal with just sales people sending PPT, PDF, XLS...large at times say close on some XLS to 10MB....and often the sales people will send a 4MB PPT to like 30 to 60 people...but the server just run's and sends them as it can...no crashing.. Ive also got a full T1 so generally bandwidth is not an issue..Exch55sp4, NT4sp6a..Pent 3 600..768MB ram... the customer is always right.....well kind'a..... If they want a higher limits and need it then likely they should get it...if it's crashing (truely) your server...I would say something is amiss it your server,config's or something and it should be "fixed"/looked at 2 cents bill -----Original Message----- From: Andrey Fyodorov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 5:17 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: need ammo Hi all. I have this customer who is unhappy about 10MB message limit size on SMTP connectors in our shared Exchange environment. Does anyone have any scary stories about what happens when people try to send too many messages that are too large? What is a reasonable size for SMTP message? Our servers originally had higher limits but a few times large SMTP messages crashed the servers. I just need to convince this customer that it is not a good idea to send large messages. Thanks!
