40 users and a fractional T1
then would it not be simpler to put a limit on their mailbox size rather than attachment size? you just have to be careful of  people sending out to large number of recipients. 10 mb limit is acceptable but also depends if you send large artwork files or is it just funnies you want to stop?

Just looking for different opinions on the attachments size limit. I already have a 500mb limit on the mailbox size. Anyone use a different size limit on attachments.

That’s the problem though, people tend to use the email server as a file server and they will always want to send bigger and bigger attachments. Currently I have a 3mb attachment size limit. It sounds as though a 10mb limit is more common than 3mb.

The problem I am seeing now, and not just from the company I work for but a lot of other companies; users are using Yahoo and Google mail to send their attachments out if their companies email server will not handle the attachment size.
