Heh. Sneding. I would also suggest considering setting the send limit (either global in ex2k or mailbox level ex 5.5) to whatever your IMC limit is.
We had some [user] try to send a 285MB attachment, and it bounced around the MTA's for a while before I found it and deleted it. We have a 4MB limit on the "IMC", and most recently put a 4MB limit *everywhere* (MTA, 5.5 UA, 2k Global). There really haven't been very many complaints. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: Friday, September 06, 2002 9:15 AM Posted To: List - Exchange Server List Conversation: need ammo Subject: RE: need ammo <Customer> ::blank stare:: </Customer> -----Original Message----- From: Couch, Nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 6:07 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: need ammo I totally agree here.
