Title: Message
How would their mailbox skyrocket?  They are already being charged with 100 Megs of space from the moment the attachment is sent, even thought they are all collectively pointing to the same object. 
 
It would seem that the the very last user to have the attachment should be charged 100 M, because that user and only that user is taking up 100 M on the server.  Why aren't mailboxes dynamically charged a proportional amount of the original attachment in SIS.

But when the others deleted their mail, the one persons mailbox size would skyrocket. SIS is for the benefit of IT, not the end users. [1]
 
[1] Technically they do benefit as you are able to have less storage required to handle more users. That reduces the amount of $$ charged per mailbox.

Without SIS there would be 10 separate 100MB files each charged individually to the users.  The same as if you had sent the file to only one user...

That could be one way of measuring it, but what about this.
You email the 100MB attachment to 10 people and it costs each one 10MB by your scale. All but one delete it. Now he has to pay 100. Is that really fair that one person should be penalized for keeping the attachment?

Subject: Theoretical question concerning SIS

Happy Friday everyone, came up with a thought this morning and was wondering if anyone knew the answer to the following situation.
 
1.  Exchange 5.5
2.  Outlook 2000 clients
3.  No PST's.
 
User A sends 1 100 Megabyte file to ten users.  Because of SIS only 100 Megs of space was used on the Exchange server, not 1000.  Each user will show that they are using 100 Megs of space, but my understanding is that there is only one 100 Meg file with 10 mailboxes pointing to it.
 
Assuming I am correct with everything that I wrote:
 
Why doesn't Exchange charge, and Outlook display 10 megabytes to each mailbox?  After five people delete the attachment (really the pointer to the SIS 100 Meg object), the remaining five  would each be charged 20 megabytes.  That make any sense?
 
My first instinct is that it would be just to damn complex.  Any thoughts Guru's? 
 
By the way, this came up during an argument about PST's after I explained the benefits of SIS and using reasonable mailbox limits.  Have a great weekend everyone.
