Doh! Here's what it ended up being; the overhead the Brightmail gateway was more than the 30% the said to add; it was closer to 38%. That's what I get for trusting Symantec documentation. ;)

Set the Protocol logging level on the receive connector to "Verbose", and check your smtp protocol logs for the message rejection. From: Damien Solodow [mailto:damien.solo...@harrison.edu]<mailto:[mailto:damien.solo...@harrison.edu]> Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2011 12:25 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: NDR tracking? Ok, I'm having an issue with an externally originating message bouncing and I'm apparently having a brain fart. Hopefully someone can help me clear the air. Use from Gmail is sending a message to one of our recipients; total attachment size is about 9.8 MB. Our SMTP gateway (Brightmail) allows attachments of up to 10240 KB, and is accepting the message from Gmail. However, when it goes to hand it off to our Exchange 2010 SP1 HT server, it gets a 5.3.4 Too large. I checked the receive connector as well as the Org level settings for Transport, and it is set to allow messages of up to 10240 KB. I found a KB article for Brightmail gateway saying that due to format conversion, etc, the message passed through to the downstream server can be up to 30% larger. So, I updated the receive connector and the Org level settings to 13312 KB (10240 * 1.3). However, the message is still bouncing. What's even more frustrating is that the Message Tracking and Tracking Log Explorer don't have any record of the message. On both Hub Transports I increased the Diagnostic Logging for MSExchangeTransport\DSN and MSExchangeTransport\SmtpReceive to High but nothing in the logs. What log(s) do I need to increase to find out how big the message is when the HT tries to accept it so I can see how large it needs to accept? Help me Obi-Wan...
