I could not agree more Sherry... we have 20MB external/30MB uncompressed archives(for virus scanning) and 50MB internal.
I think these are way too high.... Most admins forget the overhead of applying policy and filtering to these large attachments which can lead to performance degradation. - JB From: Sherry Abercrombie [mailto:saber...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, June 11, 2009 9:41 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: what is your maximum message size in exchange 2007 That's what FTP is for, File Transfer Protocol, Exchange is an email/calendering application. Setup and used properly, FTP is much more secure than email.

If yes, then either you are being unreasonable or your company is being unreasonable by not providing you the budget to support the needed size. Attachment size is a business decision and then IT should have the budget to provide that business need. I worked at an advertising agency in the past. Big attachments flying around helped them work better and faster and the company gave me the money to make it work, so I gave it to them. It was also real nice to know that every attachment bounce that came in was the result of the outside sender/recipient rather than me. It made answering that question nice and easy. > -----Original Message----- > From: Dennis Melahn > [mailto:den...@advancedav.com<mailto:den...@advancedav.com>] > Sent: Thursday, June 11, 2009 12:24 PM > To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues > Subject: what is your maximum message size in exchange 2007 > > Was just curious if I was being unreasonable to my Sales department > with my firm stand on 10 meg. > > Thanks, > Dennis > > > ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ > ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~ ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~ -- Sherry Abercrombie "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
