What happens to email sent to Exchange 2007 that exceeds the maximum message size?
I have a client running Exchange 2007. The message size limit for mailboxes was set at 10MB (I believe this is the default setting). One of the users was expecting a message with an 11MB attachment and didn't receive it. They are using a DoubleCheck SPAM appliance that shows the message hitting the server this morning - my question is: how long does the message sit on the server? Is it held in a queue or is it immediately bounced because it exceeds the size limit? Should the sender receive a NDR?
Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Any messages over the size limit would have been refused. If your organizational configuration allows external NDRs then the sender should have received a NDR warning them that the message was over the limit.

That's what I thought...but I'm wondering why the message would have shown up in the log of the DoubleCheck SPAM device? I'm guessing since it goes there first, I'm seeing it before Exchange takes any action on it?

Oh...and to answer your question...no, there is no attachment filter in DoubleCheck...or I should say, there's one there but it's not turned on!
Sure let me know @ messagetracking.
