There are many reasons to enforce size limits in an organization. Many reasons center around storage and backup considerations. Performance can be hampered the larger mailboxes are, too.
One very important yet frequently overlooked issue is SECURITY. Without size limitations, and depending on other factors, there are certain DDoS attacks that can result in rendering a whole Exchange Information Store inaccessible. One approach you might want to consider is educating your users about the use of Personal Folders. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Doug Schaible Posted At: 03 November 2003 14:23 Posted To: Swynk Exchange (30 days) Conversation: Exchange Limits Subject: Exchange Limits Exchange 2000 SP3 Any suggestions on setting size limits on both the SMTP virtual server and on idividual mailboxes? I had originally set a 4mb limit on the SMTP and 200mb limit mailboxes, which no one complained about for 4 years. Some "select" staff complained and corporate had me remove both limits. I'm looking for ammunition to bolster my case to reinstate the limits. Do any of you use these settings, if so where do you set them? Thanks for your help! _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________ This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
