Exchange 2007 message size limit
I have an exchange 2007 mailbox server with another hub server behind that. I have increased the send connectors to 15mb however the most mail I can get out is 7.2 meg. I get a message from exchange from the hub server
The recipient's e-mail system is currently full or overloaded and can't accept any messages. Microsoft Exchange will not try to redeliver this message for you. Please try resending this message later, or provide the following diagnostic text to your system administrator.
The first odd thing is why do I get this message if its a size limit as this indicates an issue with the recipient's server which is misleading.
Secondly even allowing for 33% mime encoding I am still only getting roughly half the specificed size out.
Any ideas on both these issues thanks : )

Have you changed all places - including the global settings for message size?

I ran the following command and they all say 15mb. Are they any where else outside of what this command would show?
get-receiveconnector | select identity,maxmessagesize
get-receiveconnector | select identity,maxmessagesize

I'm confident the issue is on my end. I have tested using a number of recipients. Including gmail. The bounce message shows the details of the internal server. There are no restrictions on size for users mailbox they are all set at a global level
The max message size should be set on the Send Connector, Receive Connector and Global Settings (Org Config, Hub Transport).

Interesting, when I run Get-TransportServer SERVERNAME | fl on my hub transport server it shows a 10MB limit for the below. Could this be the cause?
InternalDsnMaxMessageAttac hSize : 10MB
ExternalDsnMaxMessageAttac hSize : 10MB
InternalDsnMaxMessageAttac
ExternalDsnMaxMessageAttac
Yes, if you are sending anything larger that would affect it.

DSN = delivery status notification messages so does not apply in this scenario.

Seems like the recipient just needs to clean up their mailbox in order to receive your email with the attatchment.
