Increasing maximum size of email messages on Exchange. Error #5.2.3
Hi all
We currently operate a mixed Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007 environment and need to increase the allowed email size from the default 10mb to 20mb. I've done the following steps:
1) Changed in Global Message Delivery in Exchange 2003 System Manager
2) Changed the Transport Config in Exchange 2007 for Message Size, Send and Receive to 20mb. (using command set-transportconfig -MaxReceiveSize 20mb -Maxsendsize 20mb)
3) Changed Receive Connectors in Exchange 2007 (Client & Default) to 20mb
I assume there's another setting i need to change as users still receive the SMTP error 5.2.3 saying that the message exceeds the maximum message size allowed. Can someone tell me what i've missed out as i've looked for ages and can't find it!
Thanks in advance.

Are you sure that no message size limitation at the other end is involved?

The SMTP Virtual Servers in Exchange 2003 have now been upped as well but im still getting the:
"This message exceeds the maximum message size allowed. Microsoft Exchange will not try to redeliver this message for you. Please make the message smaller -- by removing attachments, for example -- and try sending it again, or provide the following diagnostic text to your system administrator."

I've gone through the article posted gupnit and i think ive done it all - i tried the command:
Get-MessageTrackingLog -EventID FAIL | where {$_.RecipientStatus -like "*SendSizeLimit*"}
But it doesn't come back with anything which is weird

There are message limits at the other end but i'm getting bounce backs straight from MSExchange. Would i be right in assuming that if it is being rejected at the other end i would get a bounce back from them rather than Exchange?
