Many organizations set prohibit send limits for quota purposes and much higher prohibit send and receive limits as an extra guard against mail loops. I agree that prohibit send and receive isn't a good enforcement mechanism (and believe me, after using Banyan Mail for years where prohibit receive was the only mechansim I know) because it punishes the innocent correspondents, not the offender. So, if you want to enforce a 100MB mailbox limit, set prohibit send to 102400 KB, and, as an extra safety measure, set prohibit send and receive to something like 500000KB.

Or are you talking limiting the size of the messages that can be sent and receive (We currently follow Martin's practice and have mailbox size limits that prohibit send only when limit is reached) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Crowley [MVP] Sent: Friday, 23 September 2005 12:59 p.m. To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: exchange 5.5 priv growing at a rapid rate Best practice is to set a high send/receive limit just to keep mail loops in check.

I'm not a fan of send/receive limits, but a send limit on mailbox size would be good. Ie, maximum size limit on the mailbox size is X. When that size is reached user can no longer send mail -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Crowley [MVP] Sent: Thursday, September 22, 2005 4:59 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: exchange 5.5 priv growing at a rapid rate Right. Your first course of action should be to disable automatic replies and forwards to the Internet.

Or it could be receiving NDRs, auto-replying to them, and getting more NDRs and autoreplying to them, etc. Same thing could happen with forwarding rules. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jonathan Beeler Sent: Thursday, September 22, 2005 5:06 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: exchange 5.5 priv growing at a rapid rate Was hoping you guys could help me out: Exchange 5.5 sp4 + hotfixes. I have an Exchange 5.5 priv that is growing very rapidly. About 600 users, but almost all of them have 20 MB mailboxes. The DB is at 56GB, now and has been growing about 1GB a day for the last few days. No mailboxes have been found to be out of whack. Does anyone have any suggestions? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=exchange To subscribe: http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
