From: ghetto_banjo on 27 Apr 2010 13:58 Hello. Exchange 2007 I am trying to increase the Maximum Receive Message Size for an individual mailbox to 20MB, so this one account can receive large attachments from external senders. I did the obvious change in the "Mail Flow Settings --> Message Size Restrictions" in the mailbox's property, but I still get a NDR saying size exceeds fixed maximum. It seems like the email is being rejected before it even gets to check the individual mailbox's property. Any advice?
From: Ed Crowley [MVP] on 27 Apr 2010 20:54 You probably have lower limits somewhere along the message's path. Here's a guide that should help you: http://exchangepedia.com/blog/2007/09/exchange-server-2007-setting-message_10.html -- Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." ..

From: ghetto_banjo on 28 Apr 2010 10:19 well i think the problem is this (copied from that site): "Do individual size limits bypass the Organization size limit? Setting higher message size limits on an Exchange recipient bypasses the maximum message sizes in the Exchange Organization configuration, albeit only for internal messages, not for messages sent to or received from unauthenticated sources." it's not a huge deal. i think i am just going to setup a gmail account and instruct this particular vendor to send their big attachments there.

Or you could just enable large message sizes everywhere. However, if you set them larger than 30MB, ExBPA will yell at you. -- Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." ..
