Dear guys, we have an Exchange 2016 on-premise server and would like to increase the attachment's size of users' emails to 100 MB. We did some research and followed but still got the error "The following files weren't attached because adding them would cause the message to exceed the maximum size limit of 25 MB: smex_12.0_ag.pdf. " when attached a file that is bigger than 25 MB into an email. Could you please suggest?
Attached pictures are our settings, we restarted IIS, Transport services, even server itself but did not help! 2.JPG 3.JPG

Have you checked if your Transport is limiting you....check the Ms guideline

Take a look at these two links, the first article is from MS and the blog is from CodeTwo.
These should tell you what you need and how to increase it.
While you can change this on the transport I'll tell you if you send outside of the org they will get blocked. Usually most email servers will not accept most messages that are larger than 25-30 mb in size. But again if you are receiving that large email or doing so internally that will be just fine.
