Oh my word.
I remember Exchange 5.5 (now this was on a Pentium 200 with 64 MB of RAM
around 1996 or so) that someone tried to e-mail a 30 MB attachment on one of
my servers. Exchange 5.5 wanted to be able to allocate 3 times the size of
an item in locked RAM. It was a crash-reboot-crash-reboot-crash-reboot until
we figured out WTF was going on.

Yes you can definitely crash your system by overloading your jet database
cache as well as clogging your queue :-(

I assume you applied the higher limits under Delivery Restrictions for the
user.
Have you checked your SMTP VS properties to see if any limits are defined
there?
Now, even if you get all these limits set, and the user sends the email out,
Its very doubtful the receiving destination servers will accept a large
message with close to 100MB attachment. It's not at all a good practice to
send such large attachments in email. The maximum, is 10 - 12MB to keep
things under control. Why don't you use some other means like an FTP server?

I have a user in my organization that needs to send a very large email but I
can't seem to get it to work. System global setting is 10MB, and I bumped
the User mailbox setting to 150MB. The mail with attachments is 94MB. SMTP
Connector Message Size Limit under Routing Groups is not set, values are
greyed. SMTP Virtual server Setttings under Servers/Protocol/SMTP Virtual
Server/Messages is also not set. Yet whenever the message is sent we get -
Task 'Microsoft Exchange Server - Sending' reported error (0x80040610) :
'The message being sent exceeds the message size established for this user.'
What am I missing, I thought the Limit set at the user level would override
the System global settings, etc?
