From: Larry Struckmeyer[SBS-MVP] on 27 Apr 2010 07:59 Hi Stuart: Strangely, it is not that simple. There has been a lot of discussion about this topic recently. I favor an FTP server for large file transfers in and out of the perimeter, and file shares for within. But, here are a coupld of links: http://www.exchange-genie.com/2007/11/how-to-set-message-size-limits-in-exchange-2007/ http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2006/11/14/431477.aspx - Larry Please post the resolution to your issue so others may benefit - Get Your SBS Health Check at www.sbsbpa.com > i need to increase the size of incoming and outgoing email can someone > point me in th eright direction as there seem to be alot of places you > can change this but there must be an overiding setting somewhere >

Keep in mind, as Larry said, Exchange is a poor file transfer system. The Transport service will hang with large attachments effectively disabling all emails. I had to mention that. That said, here are the locations: ============================================= 1. Organization, Hub, Send Connectors Tab, "Maximum Message Size (KB)." 2. Organization, Hub, Global Tab, Transport Settings Property, "Maximum Receive Size (KB) and Maximum Send Size (KB)." 3. Server Configuration, Select Server Name at the top, Receive Connector tab below, In the Connector called "Default ServerName" Properties, Maximum Message Size (KB). If any clients are using POP3 or IMAP4, also change it in the "Client ServerName" Connector. ============================================= If you have a third party SMTP gateway or Edge, it has to be changed there as well.

Hi Stuart: How large is that attachment? As SG has pointed out in other threads on this subject, attachments can grow to 125% or so during the download process. Could also be the message and not the attachment. Pop3 collector for SBS is problematic at best. Several posts in this or the 08 group about this recently. My advice is to open that mailbox with web mail and save the attachment to your local drive. Then, if possible delete the attachement and see if the mail comes down sans attachment. If not, read it with web mail then delete it. I am not going to repeat all the teeth gnashing and hand wringing that goes on about this, but you can search for it in the SBS groups. Next advice, but you already know this, is to use SMTP for mail as the mail gods intended. <g> redundancy and so on can easily be implimented for less than the cost of messing with pop3. - Larry Please post the resolution to your issue so others may benefit - Get Your SBS Health Check at www.sbsbpa.com > i have changed all to 50mb receivieving we collect email via pop and > this is still not being brought in as its saying its oversize > attachments > > any help please > > "Ace Fekay [MVP - Directory Services, MCT" wrote: > >> On Tue, 27 Apr 2010 01:09:01 -0700, Stuart Macleod >> <StuartMacleod(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: >> >>> i need to increase the size of incoming and outgoing email can >>> someone point me in th eright direction as there seem to be alot of >>> places you can change this but there must be an overiding setting >>> somewhere >>> >> How big of a limit do you want to change it to?
