I have checked and double checked the following settings

Set-TransportConfig -MaxReceiveSize 40MB -MaxSendSize 40MB
Set-SendConnector “Connector Name” -MaxMessageSize 40mb
Set-ReceiveConnector “Connector Name” -MaxMessageSize 40mb
Set-ADSiteLink “SITE LINK NAME” -MaxMessageSize 40Mb

Using ADSIEdit > Select Configuration > Services > Microsoft Exchange > Your Org > Global Settings > Right click Message Delivery > Properties > Clear delivContLength and Clear submissionContLength

You will have to adjust the settings on the exchange server properties, there is a size limit to messages sent which you can remove, on another note although you can have no maximum size limit your ISP typically does to and the standard is usually 10mb.

You can find some info here: http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-6165487.html

erm I don't have any 3rd party antivirus or firewall on the server.

one thing I forgot to mention is this local server only forwards the messages onto a live web server we have running, I have tested sending large messages in and out of the live server with no problems. and the local server doesn't even open a connection to the live server when proccessing the emails

Ps the server was running for about 2 months from new sending messages of any size and it was only 2 weeks ago the problems started (I checked windows updates and there was no updates for at least 3 weeks before the problems started)

So just to be sure you have adjusted the following settings

-Global Transport Settings
-Receive Connector Settings
-Send Connector Settings
-Mailbox Settings

hello uescomp, yes I have checked and changed the figures in both the GDI and the Exchange Shell

Found a rouge registry setting which fixed the problem in the end,
