How set Attachment size limit and number of recipients? 12mb email sent to 1000 employees!
Just had an occurance where an employee was under our 20mb attachment limit, but sent it to practically the entire company which brought the network to a screaming halt. Is there a way in Exchange to limit the TOTAL attachment size which caculates in the number of recipients ie. a 10mb email maxes out at 100 recipients = ~1 gb. We outsource our Exchange server and they are saying this isnt possible, but it seems like it should be. Do they just not know how? I also assume there is a way to stop an email that is sent to everyone with a large attachment? It took 8 hours before the network speed was finally back to normal...outsourced company said there was no way to stop the email form being distributed.

We use Outlook w/ Exchange Server account and OWA - no pop or Imap. We have 15 sites around the US each connecting to the same server.
I dont want to limit the number of users email is sent to since we do send out company wide emails daily...we just cant handle a company wide email with a 10+mb attachment.

Sembee -- Exchange will still perform single instance storage -- I would have to see thier configuration to better understand thier configuration-- if they are poping or imaping from the hosting company then the traffic would put a drain on the network, so with out knowing the current configuration I can not really get into details on that.
