Recipient limits not working correctly

I am running Exchange 2003. Global setting are No Limits for sending and receiving, Mailbox Store settings are all cleared for Limits, subject User mailbox setting on AD account is Use Default.  This user was the reciepient of an email with a 6MB attachment that resulted in 5.2.3. It looks to me as though things are wide open on my exchange server and there should be no limits.  There is no policy set for limits. This has been stumping me for a while.

Thanks

If you got an SMTP error message it may not be your server rejecting it.
The best practise on SMTP email delivery is to reject the message at the delivery point and force the sending server to reject the message. The recipient side may have a limit.

Slightly confused by your response. My user is the reciepient of the 6MB email.  The sender gets the smtp 5.2.3.  So it could be limits on the sender's server?  Thanks
