any downside to 100MB Transport Dumpster
EE
After reading about Exchange 2010 SP1 DAG, Transport Dumpster and AutoDatabaseMountDial I have decided I'd like to use a high transport dumpster setting of between 60-100MB. Is there any down side, performance or recoverability wise to increasing the default this much? Our message size limit is 30MB and I realize the recommendation is 1.5 x that size, but for added insurance during an automatic failover, I want the larger size. Is there a down side?

can you describe precisely under what circumstances a message is at risk for being lost? and does being lost mean no NDR to the sender?

Let's say that between the time a db goes offline on one server and online on another, the elapsed time is 10 seconds. During that time I receive 50 megs of email destined for mailboxes on that db. Where does that 50 meg sit while it waits for the db to come online? Does it sit in a delivery queue? Because I can't find info that explains how long mail will sit in queue. All I can find is info about the shadow retry feature that tries a different hub transport, which I understand. But if the mailbox is offline trying a different path to it is pointless.
So what does the 50 meg of mail do for 10 seconds?
Thanks for working this through with me...

ok, if my Exchange Server 2010 not using DAG in the two mailbox servers, how much is the size for the ttransport dumpster size to allow me send and receive email with 50 MB attachment ?
