Re: SMTP Exchange size limits trouble

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Your limit is 18MB; how big was the attachment; there is bloating of
email size due to content conversion.

Gmail
Maximum attachment size
With Gmail, you can send and receive messages up to 20 megabytes (MB)
in size. However, the precise amount allowable will depend on the
attachment.

when you removed/upped the message size limit, did you restart the smtp

Yes, there's only one server and the NDR come from that one.

Dear Susan:

In fact, our server generated an NDR message and sent it to the gmail
account.

Thanks again for all yoyr help

you're sending from?  I believe gmail has a 10 MB limit on message
size...

We have an Exchange 2003 upgraded from 5.5.    Now, we're trying to
change
the limit message size to 18 mb and we changed the SMTP virtual
server,
the
connector, the defaults in Message Delivery, the user defaults and
in
the
mailbox store properties: everywhere.   But when we tried to send an
email
from an external source (gmail for example), it is rejected by the
message
"552 5.3.4 Message size exceeds fixed maximum message size".   The
question
is: is there any way to check what policy is rejecting the messages,
or
if
there any key in the registry (maybe from 5.5) that we need to
change
in
order to change the limit.  We activated the smtp logs, but it only
reported
552 error message and no clue.   We did some internal test and
worked
fine,
the trouble seems to be when receiving external mails.   Thanks for
all
your
help.
