RE: Blocking large mail to muliple recipients

[Martin Blackstone]

Title: Message

But I see the problem. It has to hit the Exch server before it gets stopped. The Exch server is remote, so the data is still going over the line and congesting it before the server can stop it.   I dont really see a way out of this. You could use attachment blocking and spank the user each time it happens until it stops....poor solution though. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 03, 2002 6:14 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Blocking large mail to muliple recipients Set the individuals limit to something lower.   Dan Munley MIS Department (201)930-0100 ext. 308 -----Original Message----- From: John Stevens [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 03, 2002 6:22 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Blocking large mail to muliple recipients   We have an exchange server 5.5 sp4 at a remote site   Everyone uses internet mail.   Exchange server is at remote site Office - 120 staff   At one of our offices we have about 120 staff sending & receiving mail via their ISDN networked router.   Bascially we have the occassional problem where someone within this office sends large jokey files, AVI, MPEG to several people within their address book.   Even though these recipients are at the same building the mail goes to the remote server and then gets collected using internet mail pop3 via Outlook Express using the router which in turn slows everything up. When you have more than 6 people downloading a 4 mb message all at the same time through a 64 K ISDN line then it brings the line to a halt.   We have our exchange server set to a limit of 5 mb but is there a way of say restricting messages of more than 2 mb to more than say 7 people.         John     List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
