Attachments being sent to multiple user on same exchange

Hi all,
When an internal user sends an internal email to multiple users with a picture attachment, does this picture actually sit in everyone's mailbox or does it stay on the exchange server? I only ask as our mail store is becoming very large and users keep sending emails too over a 100 internal users at a time with multiple pictures attached.

yes it's sits in everyone's mail box... the best practice in this scenario if the images are too large create a shared mailbox and give access rights to users

or a storage server and share images using FTP...

in shared mailbox all users are able to access single mailbox shared images. so it'll reduce multiple copies of images all the best.

all the best

Hello World

Hi,

It's true, the message will store in every recipient's mailbox database.
As a user, you can compress the size of picture, please refer to:

As a Exchange administrator, you can create a transport rule to limit mail flow. Or, increase the size of user's mailbox database.
Thanks,
