Can't say that I've ever been watching the CPU when that happens, but with
real time AV and everything else I wonder what would happen if a lot of
folks all did that at the same time? We've clamped our files size to 3 Megs
and recommend FTP of Sharepoint and if they are still protest we recommend
MSN Messenger where they can send whatever they want, peer to peer. Most
clients just don't understand or care about bandwidth and server
performance.

We do our best to explain to customers that emailing files larger than 2
MB's is bad form because not everyone has high speed access. The best method
for everyone is to have them upload the file to a web server and provide a
link to it. It's also WAY faster to download via http.

File size X 1.3 is about the size when it gets emailed though.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Attachment Size


We currently have our attachment size limit set to 8MB.  I have a customer
that has been complaining that he cannot send a 7MB file.  After going
around in circles with  the customer about overhead, and the email content
and that the size limit is the sum of the email content and attachment and
overhead, I decided to try sending a few to a test account under his domain.
I started with smaller attachments and worked my way up.  I was able to send
a message with a 4.3MB pdf attached but the message was bounced when I
attached a 5.4MB pdf as 552 message size exceeds maximum message size. Is
there anything I'm missing here?  The logs show delivery as status=2 but I
don't see any detail about the actual size it's reading for the email.  Is
there another way I can troubleshoot this?

Thanks

Mike
