Default limits on message size?
Hi
I have a new installation for around 40 users:
Win2003/Exch2003 with latest service packs and patches installed.
I have had a couple of issues recently where users get a message when trying to
send a large attachement, in this case it was 9mb. It says that there is a limit
on size? I have not put any limits on the server at all. What's weird is the user only
a few days ago managed to send files over 9mb?
Are there any limits set elswhere other than with exchange system mangager?
