File Attachment Size Controls

[deklin]

I currently have my global email size setting to 5MB. I have three users indivdual accounts set to larger than 5MB. However when I send them test emails larger than 5MB it gets bounced. How do I maintain a 5MB company wide limit with a few exceptions?

Thanks a lot

You set this in several places - where have you currently set it? It tends to be that you've missed one. The other option is that if you set a 5MB limit that means you can only send a 4MB attachment (varies from attachment to attachment) due to the overhead of MIME encoding.

I think you may have to set up a seperate Stroage Group, define the limits on that and move the mailboxes.
Can anyone agree / disagree?

I disagree.

You set limits on the size of mailboxes at the store level, you don't set limits at the SG level. This appears (on the face of it) though to be about individual email restrictions not mailbox.

That is set within AD for the users, in the ESM global settings for the organisation and also on the SMTP connector for external email.
