Exchange 2007 Attachment Size Limit Question

Ok - new to 2007. Real new - just using it for the first time this week after starting a new job. (have about 10yrs 2003 & 5.5 experience)

I am trying to allow one of our users to send large legal documents out via email. About 18MB. Below are the settings below:

[PS] >get-mailbox -id:user

Name Alias ServerName ProhibitSendQuo ta
---- ----- ---------- ---------------
User user xxxx-usr unlimited

[PS] >get-sendconnector | select identity,max messagesize

Identity MaxMessageSize
-------- --------------
Internet Mail 45MB

So - when they try to send the attachment, they get the following error:
The attachment size exceeds the allowable limit.

What am I missing? (other then brain cells)

Thanks! Have a good Friday!

I would also check the 'transportconfig'...it may be set to 10MB

Looks ok?
Could it be the 18MB DumpsterSize Limit?

ClearCategories : True
GenerateCopyOfDSNFor :
InternalSMTPServers : {}
JournalingReportNdrTo : <>
MaxDumpsterSizePerStorageGroup : 18MB
MaxDumpsterTime : 7.00:00:00
MaxReceiveSize : unlimited
MaxRecipientEnvelopeLimit : unlimited
MaxSendSize : unlimited
TLSReceiveDomainSecureList : {}
TLSSendDomainSecureList : {}
VerifySecureSubmitEnabled : False
VoicemailJournalingEnabled : True
Xexch50Enabled : True

Could not get the set-recieveconnector -maxmessagesize 50MB command to work. No big deal.
Send connector worked fine.

Setting the limits on the mailbox/user did the trick.

Thanks for your help!

you always have to check my spelling I tend to make a few mistakes :P

This may help out another person looking into this issue. Restarting the Transport service alone will not make changes take effect immediatly but restarting the System Attendant service did.
