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..

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.
