asked on

why does the email keep failing to deliver?

Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 552 552 message size exceeds fixed maximum message size of 10485760 (Mode: normal) (state 17).

i insured that under
1.) Global Settings-> Message Delivery->Properties->tab Default & receiving size is no limit.
2.) Servers->protocols->SMTP->Properties->Tab Messages Limit Session/message to 25700KB

and still I cannot get a file larger than 15MB to deliver from gmail to my exchange server

Check the limit on receive connectors.

Also to note - Exchange checks the uncompressed size of the mail attachment.
Check the uncompressed sise of the email.

Do you have antivirus for exchange or specialized spam software/hardware that your traffic is being intercepted?  

File size in the above is 10MB which isn't too bad.  It should make it thru most defaults.
what about mailbox message limits?

Please confirm.

everything is set to 25MB
Do you use a smarthost (SaaS email filtering product) for your incoming emails? If yes do they have any limits set on their portal at all?
Read the link and understand the places where all you can have the limits for incoming messages

Also, if Exchange isn't at fault - try to check what lies ahead of Exchange - router / ISA / TMG / you're ISP - anything that lies before Exchange might limit the connection to a particular size, a pretty rare instance - however plausible.

For time being we'll concentrate on checking Exchange first and other appliances second. is that ok?

the isp is limiting anythign above 30 mb in/out bound they also control the firewall which has the same in/out bound. logged into the 'control console to verify setting and its above 30MB.
Exchange_Geek: verified all the exchange possibilities and they are set to no limit
it appears to be a message size. I can deliver 10MB but not anything over that. opening a trouble tickeck w/ISP to insure they dont have restrictions I cant see in place
What about Delivery restrictions on User level, please confirm if any?
no delivery restrictions on user level
