You have to remember that the message size will become much larger, once the binary attachment has been encoded into text. A message with a 7Mb attachment could easily grow to a 10Mb message for transit over SMTP Chris Williams Sirana Software ________________________________ From: Lim, Arthus T. [mailto:alim@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2004 1:31 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Delivery restrictions http://www.MSExchange.org/ I set 10240 KB in the sending and receiving message size under delivery restrictions but when I tried to send a message with 7MB of attachment, I got an error message telling me that the message is larger than the current system limit. It seems that it is still following the default limit I set which is 5 MB. What can I do to solve this problem?
