Hi EE,
I have inherited a SBS 2000 Server. I am not an Exchange expert so please bear with me. :) I've run thru the msexchange.org tutorial but still large emails are rejected..
The users would like to recieve emails upto 10MB. As a test I sent an email of approx 7MB in size to one of their accounts from my webmail service.
I got the following delivery failure message back days later:

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

Suffice to say, the message never arrive to the users inbox.
Have read and followed guidelines from here:
http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Set-Size-Limits-Messages.html
System was adhering to all:
- Global Setting - Message Delivery - Defaults Tab
Sending Message Size 10240 | Receiving Message Size 102040
- Checked System Policies:
No limitations on mail box sizes.
- Active Directory Users - Properties of User - Delivery Restrictions Tab
- Set to Use Default Limit ( both Send & Receive ). Tried setting this manually and resending message (after server reboot) - still fails.
- Check Virtual Server
Limit Message size set to 10240
As I am not too familiar with Exchange I also restarted the server after setting the users personal max message receive size to ensure it was taken on board.. PS. is this required? Is there a command to run after any of these setting changes to "PUSH" it thru immediately?
Have tried every option that I know of ( ok which ain't much with exchange! ; ) .. Have I missed something?
PS. Just did internal send test -- this is unrestricted same size email went thru no problems at all.
Thanks for your help,
Broad
MS say to expect this when message exceeds incoming limits:
Subject: Test
Sent: 7/18/2002 2:40 PM
The following recipient(s) could not be reached:
Test Recipient on 7/18/2002 2:41 PM
This message is larger than the current system limit or the recipient's mailbox is full. Create a shorter message body or remove attachments and try sending it again.
<server.domain.com #5.2.3>
The server I am working on gives a NDR informing sender message was truncated... ( in original post ). Not sure if this helps with diagnostic?
