How BIG is your environment ? (Users)<br />
What is user usage per day and email Transactions ?<br />
What is the capacity of the HUB servers ?<br />
<br />
My Recommendation would be<br />
1. 10 MB (Can be some exceptional users)<br />
2. 200 or depends on the DL sizes and restrictions on them<br />
3. Same as above<br />
4. External email for Sending 15-20MB at Max and Receiving could be 20-25MB (cause Email expands by 30-35%)<br />

Example about 1000 users.<br />
<br />
<br />
What is the best email limit for:<br />
<br />
1. Internal Exchange server - emails per SMTP connection (1000 emails?)<br />
2. Internal Exchange server - recipient per SMTP email (200 recipients?)<br />
3. Internal Exchange server - recipient per email within Exchange (200 recipients?)<br />
4. F/E Exchange server - emails per SMTP connection (1000 emails?)<br />
5. F/E Exchange server - recipient per SMTP email (200 recipient)<br />
<br />

<div>
by the way ..this is Exchange 2003, uses Exchange F/E ... so there is no CAS.
</div>


<div>
I guess by &quot;emails per SMTP connection&quot; you mean how many users can be send an email in one shot .... Right<br />
<br />
Look ideally if its that than i wouldnt have the limit too HIGH as i dont want a normal user to send email to 1000 people and then some of those Idiots &quot;Reply To All&quot; .... will affect the server very badly<br />

<div>
&quot;emails per SMTP connection&quot; .. &nbsp;can be from an mobile Outlook user connected to the Exchange F/E, so at one shot how many emails should we allow this to send per SMTP connection, as there is a setting in Exchange 2003 to limit that.... should it be 20? 50? 100? 1000? 10000?<br />
<br />
&quot;emails per SMTP connection&quot; &nbsp;internally could be from say a monitoring system, database system, application and LAN Outlook users. ....
</div>


<div>
I would limit all close or below 200 as i dont want to many emails to be shot every-time .... I would tell you a real case wherein someone did send Recognition email to a DL that was for a Site\Location having 1680 people and local IT didnt have that set to restrictions for any user and &quot;Single connection&quot; was set to 2000 ...... some folks then started replying saying &quot;Please Exclude and dont SPAM&quot; same happened over 600+ emails and servers were hung for some time<br />

Email SMTP connection and recipient limit

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
