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.

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.

I just had an ingenius user attempt to send one email message with over 60
attachments at 1MB each. 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,
