RE: Recommendations for Message size limits?

Title: Message

Use your anti-virus sw to block ppt attachments.  Have an internal web page with instructions on how to use Winzip.  That would solve the user able to send large annoying ppt files.

 

Of course, I wish I could do that..... <sigh> :)

I just have to content myself with blocking pif, exe, scr, bat, com, js, vb? from internal transfers.

Yeah, pretty much.  We are just starting move from 5.5 to 2000, and I'd prefer to NOT have to throw yet another "unknown" or last minute change into our planning and upgrade efforts.  It's working now, we fully intend to increase limits all around with the more robust control 2000 provides for message routing, flow, store partitioning, etc., so why in the world would we want to do something that COULD cause problems or issues right in the middle of a bunch of other rather significant changes?  Business needs are definitely changing (many more folks that don't understand FTP or WinZIP, sending HUGE powerpoint, flash, etc thru email -- and yes, we've tried user education, to little avail), so we are looking to increase limits probably to around 8-10M (max message size), but would prefer to do that once we get thru the E2k upgrades.  Keep It Simple... :)  If you do know of anything out there to share, I'd surely appreciate it... :)

And Ep II = Episode II (Attack of the Clones) :)

Thanks!

It depends on your needs.  Are you looking for some documentation that matches your needs?

What is Ep II?

Just curious, anyone know of any whitepapers/documents/articles/etc
recommending message size limits?  We're running with 5M across the board
(IMS/MTA/mailbox) on our 5.5 system until we make the move to E2K (God, I hope soon!) and have the advantage of more management of large messages (scheduling, etc).  Been there, done that with the Notes from the Field books and all - apparently MS "recommendations" or offered guidance isn't good enough for TPTB.  ;-)

Thanks all, time to go see Ep II for me :)
