| I have ran into a problem of users trying to send very large emails, Im talking 40 megs.. I can tell them not to but that only solves the problem for the day. Does anyone know how I can solve this problem permantly by limiting the size of inbound and outbound email attachments? I have not been able to find anything on technet or a properties page within exchange to configure this. I would like to set it to 3-4 megs max.
Thanks for your input..

| Click the Start button, and then click Programs, Microsoft Exchange, and Microsoft Exchange Administrator.
Log on to Exchange Server, and click Recipients.
Click the user profile that you want to change. Then click File and Properties.
Click the Limits tab, and under Messages sizes you can choose No limit or specify a value from 0 to 2097151.
Repeat the above steps for each user for whom you want to make this change. | |

| OK, I found the property page for setting the attachment limit, in the users mailbox on the limit tab. I missed it because I was looking for something with more of a global effect to it and did not think I would have to set that limit on each users mailbox, so that brings me to a new question, does anyone know how I can set all my users to the same attachment size without going into each mailboxes properties. I have 1500 mailboxes so that'll take a long time. Maybe it is a registry hack or something?
Thanks,

| I'm not to sure but a different approach could be to set the maximum message size limit directly on the MTA, thus limiting every user automatically. |
