RE: Mailbox size limits
Title: RE: Mailbox size limits I am trying to implement limits here. There are currently none. I have 8 users at over 700 MB.

RE: Mailbox size limits
Title: Message I don't use quotas either.not by my choice but because mgmt. won't let me. I do however, use Mailbox Manager which runs every weekend and deletes anything older than 45 days. Right now the largest mailbox I have is just over 200MB, at one time however, I had several that were getting close to the 1GB mark. My CTO gently prodded them into cleaning them up. Now those users aren't even in the top ten.. At one time the age in date was 60 days for MBM, but when we told mgmt that we would either have to reduce the size of our IS on Exchange, or upgrade to Enterprise edition, which was no longer available, because we were getting too close to the 16 GB limit on Exchange 5.5 standard, they changed it to 45 days and the memo came from the CEO.

RE: Mailbox size limits
I tried giving them one finger too but I made the unfortunate choice of which finger to use :-) Seriously, we open a mailbox with a standard (default) 10 meg warning, 15 meg send limit. Anyone who needs more can just request it. Managers have much larger size limits, as requested. A few power users (finance, etc.) also have more. You'd think this would be a ton or extra work for me since everyone would probably be whining and calling us up to give them more space, but the vast majority of users don't ever call. A few do - and they get a bump - no problem if they need it. Once upon a time we had a space issue with Exchange 5.0 and it's IS size limit - lots of junk put us near the edge. It took a lot of effort to clean up a system gone wild. We don't have that constraint now with 5.5 but in our environment most users really don't need any more than this small limit (medical people who just use email for departmental issues and schedules, etc.) so we kept in intact as a default. Most of the users are not power users, so this actually works quite well here. But I can see how it would be suicidal to suggest these tiny limits in other types of shops. -Original Message- From: Reto Inversini [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 26, 2002 2:39 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Mailbox size limits ... well, I don't use any quotas ... discspace is cheap and I don't like whining users ... but beware ... if you give them one finger they are going to take the whole hand :-) ... most users a reasonable and using between 5meg and say, 120meg ... but there are always a few, urmm, special cases ... until now the highscore is 400meg - and then they start complaining that outlook is sooo slow ... /Reto - Original Message - From: Precht, David mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 26, 2002 7:59 PM Subject: RE: Mailbox size limits Last place with Exchange 175/200/225 Currently for client on Notes 50 Highest that I have seen 300 BUT someone has always b*tched and got theirs booted up, to get this, 1 gig !

Exchange 5.5 SP4. How can I limit the size of message inside our organization? I know I can limit the size of messages bound to and from the Internet but how do I limit the size for in house eMAILs? On the Limits tab I see Message Sizes incoming and out going and I hope this is where I do this. Is there a global setting where all users are restricted equally? Happy holidays.

RE: Mailbox size limits
Yeah, the Limits is the right place. If you get hold of an ADSI editor or use Admin Import you can set the Submission-Cont-Length on all (some) mailboxes. ARe ou really that tight on disk space?

So how do I limit the size of a message that is being sent within the server to another user on that server?

RE: Mailbox size limits
It is not that we are tight on disk space it is just that our mailboxes are only 50M and if someone internally sends out 15M files it doesn't take long to close down mailboxes. that is why we are trying to limit the amount of data a person sends internally. By the way Kevin how is your mailboxes mover for multiple mailboxes coming along?

Re: Mailbox size limits
You can set the limit globally by using the information store limit. Go to SERVERNAME/Private Information Store. Do a properties there and you will have access to the Storage Limits. You can also set limits at the MTA level. Rodney Li Good afternoon, OUTLOOK 98. Exchange 5.5 SP4. How can I limit the size of message inside our organization?
