shaun by my posting can you tell that there is a limit of 10mb?

 

by: shauncroucherPosted on 2009-10-30 at 09:16:53ID: 25704422

Your global settings are set to Unlimited.

Your receive connector maxmessagsize is set to 10MB on two servers and 100MB on another server.

Your send connector message size is set to 10MB

Sometimes, administrators have reported that unlimited can sometimes not be a very accurate way of setting the size limits. Try setting this to the limit you require if you are having problems.

Shaun thank you so much for teh reposnse my question is i only have one server so when you say one server 100mb and one server 10mb i am a little confised.

if it is set to unlimited global but set at a lower does it take teh lower setting?

 

by: shauncroucherPosted on 2009-10-30 at 09:32:37ID: 25704601

You have written:

Get-ReceiveConnector  | fl server,maxmessagesize -- recieveconnector
result is
Server         : SERVER
MaxMessageSize : 100MB

Server         : SERVER
MaxMessageSize : 10MB

Server         : SERVER
MaxMessageSize : 100MB

That is showing three results?

The most restrictive limit will be applied BUT some people have reported that unlimited does not work properly and you have to instead set a high limit.

this is why i am confused i have one exchange server is it 10mb or 100mb how do I find out?

 

by: shauncroucherPosted on 2009-10-30 at 09:37:42ID: 25704655

Sorry, yes, you have three receive connectors there, are you using SBS 2008 by any chance?

If you type Get-ReceiveConnector | fl Id*,*Max* it should show you what you need.

Depending on what receive connector is being used, one will accept 10 the other two 100.

Shaun

You didn't include the Identities!?

Well, the identity pretty much describes the Rceiveconnector. If you want a 100MB for all receiveconnectors then type:

get-receiveconnector | set-receiveconnector -MaxMessagSize 100MB

See my article and follow it.

by: shauncroucherPosted on 2009-10-30 at 09:49:47ID: 25704763

get-receiveconnector | set-receiveconnector -MaxMessageSize 100MB

Typo in last post.

shaun thank you i am still learing exchange 2007 so there are three connectors and two of them are set to 100mb and one is set to 10mb and it is just round robin and will hit the next available connector?

i just need to understand so I can explain to client?

and if i type your above input tehey will all be set to 100mb? is that recomended?

 

by: shauncroucherPosted on 2009-10-30 at 09:58:20ID: 25704850

The ReceiveConnectors are for accepting INCOMING SMTP connections. There is one for Internet, one for users who can 'authenticate' using Outlook Express etc and another for fax services.

They will not operate a round robin, incoming email will come in using either of the three connectors, so you can change settings accordingly.

By default they are all 100MB I believe.

is there a way to know witch is witch?>

 

by: shauncroucherPosted on 2009-10-30 at 10:03:28ID: 25704893

When you run this command:

Get-ReceiveConnector | fl Id*,*Max*

If shows you a Identity field, this is the name of the connector and is quite descriptive normally. IE: Internet, Fax and Default.

Shaun

 

by: zenworksbPosted on 2009-10-30 at 10:04:19ID: 25704903

you are the man I will run that and see if I can determine I coppied it all but we will look

 

by: zenworksbPosted on 2009-10-30 at 10:06:14ID: 25704919

i ran again and everything i posted above is what is listed there is no indetity field beeing shown?

 

by: zenworksbPosted on 2009-10-30 at 10:07:22ID: 25704927

is there a way to run a command to show each one manually and then we can see what one is set to 10mb?

 

by: shauncroucherPosted on 2009-10-31 at 05:45:55ID: 25709517

If you just type

Get-ReceiveConnector | fl

This will show you all the information for each receive connector including the Identity.

Alternatively, you can go into the management console --> server config --> Hub Transport and the connectors are there.
