I think what he is looking for is a clue-by-four or a CRT (Client Re-Adjustment Tool). Since the message restriction isn't enforced until the server gets it, it's really left to the behavioral techniques employed to prevent this. The server restriction is going to help reinforce proper behavior however; it just won't help with bandwidth. al -----Original Message----- From: Tim Sutton [mailto:t.sutton@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2004 5:15 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: How to prevent users from attempting to send massive attachments http://www.MSExchange.org/ You can limit the outgoing message size to whatever you want. Global settings - message delivery - properties is probably the easiest way of sorting it. Hope that helps.

Of course the system was overwhelmed, but fortunately kept running. I am configured to receive NDR's, so I got the massive email as well. What's to stop users from ATTEMPING to send such email messages? I realize there are delivery restrictions, but they come into play *after* the message is sent and moved to their Sent Items folder - correct? (Exchange Server 2003) Thank you, ...D ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: t.sutton@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: al.mulnick@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist
