I installed a MS-Exchange 5.5/Serive Pack 3 server. Also, I set size limit of Internet Mail and Message Transfer Agen, etc.. to unlimited. Somehow, I can not send any e-mail with attachment that more than 10MB. I looked up Technet and MS-Knowledge Base, tried many suggestion from these sources such as set the mail size limit to 30MB, modifying registry (add DWORD..) tested and test..I still have the same problem. The error message, that my mail server prompts verytime I send any e-mail morethan 10MB as below, that is not really true becuase I set the limit to maximum value. What is wrong with my mail configuration or what should I do to resolve this problem. Please help.

Error:
"A mail message was not sent due to a protocol error.
16130901 bytes exceeds server limit of 10485760", and/or

"The following recipient(s) could not be reached: 'TUKUMO@net.corona.edu' on 2/6/01 11:08 AM. The content length of the message is too long for the recipient to take delivery. The MTS-ID of the original message is: c=US;a= ;p=usmix;l=server11-010206160544Z-5 MSEXCH:IMS:USMIX:FIREWALL:SERVER11 3552 (000B099C) 21854537 bytes exceeds server limit of 10485760"

In addition, No size limit on receipient(s)ends when I talked to their postmaster, e-mail admin.

Hi there,

Looks to me like the problem could be with the restrictions on the Receiving server, not yours. Have you tried sending to another domain, or verifying that your intended recipient can get a 10MB message?

Have a look at the headers onthe NDR, and see where the message originated from, and let me know if that doesn't sort it out.

Cheers, and hope that helps,

Donald

That is what the problem is. The headers hardly ever lie. Your recipient does have a limit of 10 meg. Now then, is their mail box limited to 10 meg or is the message size on their server limited to 10 meg. I would guess that it is not the mail box and the server message size is set to 10 meg. However I could be wrong. The recipient could have a 100 meg mail box and 95 meg being used.
However, i ramble the problem is on their end and not on your's G-day
