Since you want to use different quotas for different users and therefore cannot use the Configurations Settings server-wide, you have to customize the design of the Mail template.

put your code in the QuerySave and QueryClose events.
assign different roles and test for those in the code

I would also check to see if any of the server based rules may help - this may be server version dependent.

See the Notes Admin client help

I hope this helps !

Will the code work in notes client and web browser.?
Code in QuerySave  is for the Notes Client. For web mail you should use server based stuff

I think MS exchange is better than lotus. Lotus not even giving these kind of basic features.
only problem is that exchange is much more expensive, need to spend more on licensing and support

Hear hear, gartland291.

indeed, the overall message size limit is possible.  I have also seen the per user limit implemented by changing the mail template.

I have also witnessed better results if users are properly educated, and provided with the proper tools, like document libraries to share files with.  This works for both notes client and browser based Domino users.

Domino gets more powerful when educated properly.  Same as you drive a vehicule a lot better when properly educated.
larsberntrop,

You are correct in stating that the message size limit can be implemented by changing the mail template.  It's just in my experience, most casual users and admins have no idea how to do this.  I just generally don't suggest solutions that take an experienced developer to do.

That being said, there's probably a ton of contract developers that would do this for a fee.
gartland291,

Given recent discussions in the yellowsphere, I have no problem stinmulating this!
