In Exchange 5.5, I know how to limit the file sizes for attachment to incoming and outgoing e-mails.

However, is it possible to have different limits on the file sizes of attachments for e-mails directed off site versus for e-mails staying on-site?

If you are referring to Internet mail you can try the following:

In Exchange goto configuration\connection\internet mail service

On the General Tab there is a selection for "Message Size". This is set to No limit by default.

Hi,

Answer One is correct depending on how you send your outgoing mails; If it is via the Internet Mail Service then do exactly what he said. Bear in mind though that some connectors have this setting on the Advanced tab, X400 for example. Set this to your required limit for external mail.

After you have done this you must remember to clear the maximum limit from your MTA (Message Transfer Agent) which can be found in your Server details window.

If you want any further advice feel freeto send a mail.

Good Luck.

There are several places to set limits on the size of emails going out (not attachment size) On the IMC properties page, general tab is message size (with service pack 3 and up this can be broken into inbound and outbound size with a registry hack).For individual mailboxes, click on the Limits tab, there are two setting in the lower right corner for inbound and out bound. Plus on the MTA properties page you can limit message size. (did i miss any?)
Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.
