The amount of data alone from this LIST would fill 8 megs a day :-) Generally I have come across with 50 to 100 MB limits with a 90 MB soft warning.

In this day and age (html email and all), 25MB is nothing, especially when you consider the fact that hard drive costs are exponentially less than what they used to be 2-3 years ago. That is all my opinion and, again, it's not meant to knock you in a personal way.

We are stingy with our mailbox limits because the more we give our users the more they abuse it. We limit most 'regular' users to 8MB with a warning at 7MB. When they reach 8MB they can't send. If a regular user's mailbox gets to 15MB then we disable it. This forces the user to do something - either call the Help Desk or clean out their mail. Directors and chiefs and commissioners and such are generally given much higher limits. We start at 25MB and then increase by 10MB if necessary. We do have a handful of users who have no limits whatsoever and their mailboxes are out of control. We are in the process of migrating to Exchange2003 and implementing mailbox manager.

How do you deal with users who are out of the office your whatever reason, so they don't lose emails because their over there limit?
