So... just playing Devil's advocate here (and at the risk of starting a endless discussion)... Where do you draw the line? We've had this discussion before and when I try to justify a 20MB limit I hear that "we have to support our end user's needs". IMHO it is the same with mailbox size limitations. If you don't set a limit, your users will try to do absolutely ridiculous things.

We receive drawings from Architects for tendering and these can be upto 80Gig in size. I kept increasing the limit every time an achitect could not send us something so I ended up just turning off the limit. have deleted all log files and mail.que again for third time and restarted and emails appear to be back to normal now. So still not sure what was causing problem. --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist
