Message Size Error Windows 2008 SBS

I am getting this error an incoming message. I have changed the size limit everywhere I can think of and still am getting this error. Please tell me in the GUI where to change this. If it can only be changed in the Shell please give you can give the the complete line for 20MB MAX.

#550 5.3.4 ROUTING.SizeLimit; message size exceeds fixed maximum size for route ##

I have been through many pages on Google search and done everything on those pages that looked like it would work and I am still having this issue so please do not simply send me a link of how to increase message size on Exchange 2007.

for internal mail flow settings run the following cmdlet:-

Set-TransportConfig -MaxReceiveSize 20MB
Set-TransportConfig -MaxSendSize 20MB

for external mail flow
Get-ReceiveConnector | Set-ReceiveConnector -MaxMessageSize 20MB
Get-SendConnector | Set-SendConnector -MaxMessageSize 20MB

hope it will work for you..

Is there anything I need to restart in order to make this effective?

I guess I already had these set like this because I got this massage on all of the commands.

WARNING: The command completed successfully but no settings of 'Windows SBS Internet Send XXXXXXX' have been modified.

Ajay Sharma

Yes I assume that means they were already set to the same amount???

I am sending it from an outside account it has a 14MB attachment. Outlook on the sending side also reports the size as 14MB.

Ajay Sharma

is your mx record directly points to your HT ?

RickEpnet

ASKER

What is the HT? I think he MX record is fine. It is just an attachment over 10MB that is getting bounced but I am willing to look at anything.

Ajay Sharma

Hub Transport or I meant to say is your mx point to your exchange server or your are using any smart host ?

RickEpnet

ASKER

The MX record is pointing to the exchange server directly.

Ajay Sharma

which anti spam application you are using for your exchange. If you are using Microsoft Forefront Security for your exchange. Then you also must have to define size limit in Microsoft forefront security.

Trendmicro. I have it running on several SBS installation I have never had to make adjustments for other installations but I will look.

ASKER

I checked and there is no Attachment blocking set nor anti-SPAM set.

Ajay Sharma

Also check if you have set limit for that particular user as you are telling all settings are seem ok.

if you don't have any issue then I can personally check settings on your server you can contact me on

try one trick also to make sure your exchange receiving size. Telnet your exchange server from outside network and issue the ehlo command and your exchange will issue the receive size limit. Screen shot is also attached
