Question
Set exceptions on max send and receive size in Exchange 2007
Hi all,
Is there a way to set exceptions on the max send and receive size limits? We want to set the max limits for send and receive, but the want to create and exception, for the VIP's, as a group to "bypass" the limits.
Is there a way to do this in Exchange 2007?
Thanks,
Jo

Hi jo,
Technet is the best place for information regarding E2007.
Try here: http://technet.microsoft.c

I'm not sure I fully understand how the workaround will work? In your example you refer to Internal mail, where your colleague sends to another colleague, and even though you can remove send limits for him, it will fail beause the receive limit for the recipient is too low? I'm not sure how an Edge server or ISP will help? Am I misunderstanding?
Shaun
Hi,
What I mean is that you can disable ALL limits on Exchange. Thus anyone can send and receive whatever sizes. But we have an option at our ISP, who directs incoming and outgoing mail, to block on sizes. This will cancel the issue of attachment size internally.
I just hoped you can actually have a exclusion group to which you can add members who will have no limits to their mail sizes. It's a bit difficult to set it manually for 7000 users.
I'm checking out Technet now and will awards points when I'm done.
Thanx,
Jo
I see, makes sense.
If you wish to remove al limits on Exchange 2007 you can set all the mailboxes to use database limits.
There are three places where Message size is set in Exchange 2007 RTM
There are two places where Message size is set in Exchange 2007 SP1
Global Setting (RTM Only. Transport setting will change this automatically in SP1)
--------------
Global Settings stored in Active Directory (access using ADSIEdit)
Configuration --> Services --> Microsoft Exchange --> [DOMAINNAME] --> Global Settings --> right client
Message Delivery -->
Check the settings below. They are in KB
msExchRecipLimit (default 5000)
submissionContLength (default 10240) (MaxSendSize)
delivContLength (default 10240) (MaxReceiveSize)
Transport Setting
-----------------
To show current settings:
Get-TransportConfig | fl Max*Size
To Alter:
Set-TransportConfig -MaxRecipientEnvelopeLimit
Receive and Send Connectors
--------------------------
To Get current settings:
Get-ReceiveConnector | ft Name, Max*Size
Get-SendConnector | ft Name, Max*Size
To Alter:
Set-ReceiveConnector "<connector name>" -MaxMessageSize <nn>MB
Set-SendConnector "<connector name>" -MaxMessageSize <nn>MB
http://technet.microsoft.c
This is how to set Transport level message limits, but you should also ensure that there are no 'more
restrictive' limits set on Mail enabled objects such as mailbox users, distribution groups, public
folders etc that are causing a fail.
Manually SET a limit (if 'unlimited')
--------------------------
Some users have reported that the limits indicate 'unlimited' in one or more of these location, and once
they change to a value (such as 100MB), the problem disappeared.

Sorry, to make it a bit more clear:
Say we have a 6MB limit for users to send and receive, but we want our CEO to be able to send and receive 10MB. No, this is no issue, cause we can untick his limits... BUT... He needs to send to other people in the company. This means that if he sends a 10MB mail to someone else in the company, it's not going to be delivered, cause they have a limit of 6MB.
Can I create an exception to let his mail be delivered?
