Erotsppa,

Did you try after restarting transport service on Hub/Edge transport server?

I have went through every one of your step but am getting an error when outside people are sending mail to my exchange, any ideas why? Here is the returned email:

Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 552 552 5.2.3 Message exceeds maximum fixed size (5000000) (state 18).

I have similar issues with sending large attachments. Unfortunately I am running my exchange 2007 on my one and only domain controller(not recommened). I am confident that I have set all my send and receive connectors correctly and I can send 3 attached files that equal say 12MB but I cannot send one attached file that is 12MB. any help is greatly appreciated

Great!
Now, is there anyway to set few users’ message/send/received/ to unlimited while others are limited? Thanks million in advance

Mate, you will need to restart the server..
Quite stupid though.. so many services running on it.

I see you have much information on exchange 2007, I am in a dellima and am trying to resolve a HELO response. I have changed my receive and send connectors HELO names to our correct ptr name and restarted the smtp services on the server as well as restarted the server and a telnet session to our IP still resolves to the FQDN name of the exchange server. I am not running a edge server, I have created a personal certificate with the HELO name we need to use so this is now functioning as it should, but still the telnet session doesn’t display the HELO name configured. I am at a total loss.

Any input would be appreciated

Hi Mike,

I would say two things…

1. Check user level settings..
2. Try restarting transport service on HT servers..

Hi,

Thanks for a great and informative article. It still doesnt work for me though. I made all of the above changes (except for RoutingGroupConnector, which I do not think I have) to set limits to 40mb, but I still get “The attachment size exceeds the allowable limit” when I try to attach a 15mb file. Is there a way to specify attachment limit separately from message size limits? I’m on my 3rd day trying to troubleshoot this and getting nowhere.

Hello Kamika,

No there isn’t any direct way to set the limit on storage group/mailbox server.

But indirectly you can do that by creating a Dynamic Distribution List for a storage group/server and create a Transport Rule to apply message size limit to the users who all are member of Dynamic Distribution List.

Hi Amit..

Is there a way to set limit for send and receive globally?, I mean limit the entire Storage Group?

thx
