Activesync message size limits
I am running Exchange 2007 and I understand that the default size limits for activesync is 10MB. I also understand that you can increase the message size limits. What I am trying to find ot is if there is a limit or ceiling for increasing the limit? If
there is no limit what is best practice?
Best practice is to leave them alone unless you have a compelling reason not to.

SOAP message size limitation for sender soap adapter
Hi All,
We are facing critical production issue in case of sender SOAP Adapter,
If the sender soap message is having 114359 Bytes than the Third party is getting exception and SOAP request is not reaching XI.
If the message size is less then 100kbytes then no exception will come.
Is this a limitation that SOAP message size should not exceed 100kbyte?
Thnaks in advance
Best Regards,
Harleen Kaur ChadhaHi ,
Thanks for your inputs,Could you please tell me which hardware configurations are you talking about?
Are you people talking about harware configurations for XI?

Asynchronous Consumer Message Size Limitation?
Hello,
We are currently evaluating the Sun Message Queue 3.5. We are able to successfully send and asynchronously receive messages that are less than 1K. However, when we increased the size of the message to 2K or more, the asynchronous consumer does not return the message and messages that we send subsequently (large or small) do not get received. Seems like the destination is blocked at that point. We are able to retrieve the message synchronously though using the receive(1000) method.
Is there maybe a setting that we must check out for this?
Also, is it possible to support both synchronous and asynchronous messaging at the same time?
ie. Creating MessageListeners and also using the receive method for the same set of destinations?
We were planning to use this as a workaround so that if the message is greater that 1K, we'll just receive it synchronously. However, synchronous receiving doesn't seem to work if there is a listener listening to a destination that contains a large message.
Thanks for your time.Outside of specific configurable parameters, nothing in
the system really cares about the size of the message.
A few possible reasons:
1. if you are using receive(timeout), the receive time may
be too short to complete processing the message (since
larger messages take longer to send over the network)
2. if you are setting an expiration time, the larger messages
could be expiring during the routing stage (since the
messages take longer)
3. The larger messages could be exceeding a configured
size limit on either the destination or broker
To check:
imqcmd query dst -n <name> -t t
or
imqcmd query bkr
And look at the size limits
If the size limits are exceeded, the messages will be rejected.

SBO2007: Message Size limitation
Hello all,
The size of either all SBO Messages or Alerts Messages seems to be limited, because if an Alert uses a query that returns a large of data, the resultset's lines get truncated and the last line in the Alert message is "...", indicating the data being incomplete.
Is this limitiation documented somewhere? What's the maximum query size that can be passed untruncated?
Thanks in advance,
AntonHi Anton,
The size limit has always been there in the versions I've worked with but the only place I found it mentioned was in SAP Note 874145 which just says:
"An alert based on a query returning long results will not display the complete list should the result be over a certain size. This implies that a query which returns, for example only the invoice number, 200 lines in the query generator may only return 123 lines in the alert."
The limit is quite low so I'd guess a 100-200K cut off.
The note suggests the workarounds of either deliberately truncating the results or sending an alert that tells the user to run the full query rather than sending the results in the alert itself.
Kind Regards,

Oracle-xi - bw integration. message size limitation
Hello,
Iu2019ve got following scenario(sap xi 3.0)
1. Get Data from Oracle DB(jdbc adapter)
2. Put it to BW(xi adapter (http protocol) + bw extractor)
Every think working well, but when the oracle send more then 400 rows, BW(in rsa7) doesn`t get that rows. All XI monitoring (abap and java)doesn`t have any error.
It happen with all communication channel, critical rows count around 300-500. Less then 300-500 every think working well, but when more than 300-500 rows message lost between xi and BW.
Did someone experience a similar problem?Hi,
Check in SXMB_MONI what error you are getting, if it is message expired, or any timeout error you need to set the timeout parameters accordingly in Visual Admin.
Thanks! -

Good Day...
The output gives the information that Size limit set for Receive and Send is 100 mb, but setting could have changed. So you can follow the below steps to resolve the issue.
There are basically three places where you can configure default message size limits on Exchange:
Organization transport settings
Send/receive connector settings
User mailbox settings.
To check your server’s current limit you can open Exchange Management Shell
Try the below commands to check the Message quota size limit
get-transportconfig | ft maxsendsize, maxreceivesize
get-receiveconnector | ft name, maxmessagesize
get-sendconnector | ft name, maxmessagesize
get-mailbox Administrator |ft Name, Maxsendsize, maxreceivesize
To change the above size limits based on your requirement.
Set-TransportConfig -MaxSendSize 200MB -MaxReceiveSize 500MB (Size is based on your requirement)
Attachment size limit
To set up the rule you can use the below PowerShell cmdlet, as the method is quite simple
New-TransportRule -Name LargeAttach -AttachmentSizeOver 20MB -RejectMessageReasonText "Message attachment size over 20MB - email rejected."

Limit message size per recipient domain
Is there a feature to set maximum message size per recipient domain (incoming emails) in the roadmap maybe?
While you cannot do it by 'domains' for maximum message size limitations, you can limit the connection mail hosts.
IE: domain1.com may use the connecting mail host of mail.domain1.com
domain2.com may use the connection mail host of mx.domain2.com
Then you can create new sendergroups for the respective domains mail servers to match, and with the sendergroup you will need to create a new mail flow policy with the size limits you would like to impose.
Once this is done, simply add the mail.domain1.com into the respective sendergroup and it will impose this limitation.
Key points to note:
Size limits should account for MIME inflation.
IE: 10mb limitation you want to implement should be 14MB on the mail flow policy to account for MIME inflation.
Alternatively, if you would like to do it 'by domain'
SImply increase your mail flow policy for the sendergroup that these domains normally match (under default it would normally be UNKNOWNLIST) and have it at 14MB (to allow for 10MB emails)
Then run a message filter (so it gets actioned at the start)
FilterDomain1:
if (mail-from =="@domain1.com") AND (body-size > 5M)
drop();
Etc. to impose the limits this way.
Note:
Body size refers to the size of the message, including both headers and attachments. The body-size rule selects those messages where the body size compares as directed to a given number. -
Remove Message Size Restriction
Hello,
Please suggest a powershell to achieve below two tasks for bulk mailboxes (in .csv), NOT for individual mailbox;
1) To apply Message Size Restriction
2) To remove Message Size Restriction, so it will utilize default
ThanksHi,
I edit Johnpaul’s command to set message size limits not quotas.
To apply Message Size Restriction
Import-Csv "C:\temp\users.csv" | Foreach-object {Set-Mailbox -Identity $_.name -MaxReceiveSize 1GB –MaxSendSize 2GB}
To remove Message Size Restriction, we just set the value to unlimited.
Import-Csv "C:\temp\users.csv" | Foreach-object {Set-Mailbox -Identity $_.name -MaxReceiveSize unlimited–MaxSendSize unlimited}
By the way, message size limit can be set on the following levels:
Organizational Level
Send Connector
Receive Connector
AD Site Links
Routing Group Connectors
Individual
The path evaluated is as follows: User Send Limit > Receive Connector > Organization Checks > Send Connector > User Receive Limit

Setting a Default Organisation Message Size Limit and a Higher Limit on an Individual Mailbox
Ok. So here's the problem. I've read all the articles on setting message size limits for Organisation, Transport Send Connectors, Transport Receive Connectors, setting precedence, etc., but they don't detail how to solve this problem.
One person in our organisation is to get a raised message size limit for sending and receiving internally and externally. I've already set up limits on the Organisation Transport Global Settings, Send Connectors, Receive Connectors, etc. So,
as this individual requires a higher limit, I've raised the limits on their mailbox, and the aforementioned connector settings, etc., except the
Organisation Configuration / Hub Transport / Global Settings / Transport Settings / Maximum Receive
and Send Sizes. The theory is that I can keep these two values at the original lower setting as these are overridden by the individual's new, higher, mailbox settings, but they will continue to act as the default for other existing mailboxes
and newly created mailboxes. Right ? Wrong! For the individual's mailbox, this will only raise the limit for messages sent internally (not to or from external email addresses).
Now, I could change all existing mailboxes to have the old default lower limit using a PowerShell / EMS command, but this wouldn't work either. Newly created mailboxes will still default to the new larger limit. Most of our mailbox creation is
scripted, though some are created manually. I don't want to alter the script and inform the admins as this is too much work and admins will forget about the new limits. TBH, I'll probably forget about the new limits. That's just a messy inefficient
approach. What I want is to set a new default for message size limits, with the original low limits. I.e., a setting that applies to existing mailboxes with no explicit message size limits set, and also newly created mailboxes, but not any mailbox
with an explicitly specified higher message size limit. Any mailbox with explicitly specified higher limits should be able to send larger messages both internally
and externally. Can anyone help ? Like I said, I've already read the articles so I don't need links to these thanks. I'm more looking to people who have done this kind of thing already.
BTW, we are using Exchange 2007 SP3. It has a mailbox server Single Copy Cluster (SCC) with two nodes. It also has two Client Access / Hub Transport servers. Just so you know ;-)

"If you're not seeking help or offering it, you probably shouldn't be here."Hi huddie71,
Thank you for your question.
I've raised the limits on their mailbox, and the aforementioned connector settings, etc.,
except the Organization Configuration / Hub Transport / Global Settings / Transport Settings / Maximum Receive and Send Sizes.
By my understand, we could modify the global settings by the following path:
Organization Configuration / Hub Transport / Global Settings / Transport Settings / Maximum Receive and Send Sizes.
Because it will work on existed user and new user without explicit message size limits sets.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim
Hi Jim-Xu. That would result in everyone getting an increased limit. I only want one person to have an increased limit. See the 2nd paragraph in my original post.

DLP Attachment Scanning - Size Limitations
Is it documented anywhere what the attachment file size limitations are for DLP scanning? In the ESA Configuration documentation I read:
"To scan attachments, the content scanning engine extracts the attachment for the RSA Email DLP scanning engine to scan."
Can you identify what scanning engine is referenced by "content scanning engine" and what is the maximum attachment size it can process? Also are those settings modifiable and some indcation of performance impact if they are increased to a maximum of 50 MB per attachment?
I know you can make some modifications in the DLP policy, however it is our desire to DLP scan every document sent up to our allowable maximum email size.
If large attachments cannot be scanned we may be forced to reduce our maximum message/attachment file size.
We are currently using Async O/S 7.5.1-102 and will be moving to 7.6.0 when it comes GA.Hello David,
The content scanning engine in reference is the same AsyncOS scanning engine responsible or Message and Content Filter scanning. The maximum size of attachment to scan for this scanning engine is controlled by your 'scanconfig' setttings, as configured in the IronPort CLI. The default 'maximum size of attachment to scan' is 5MB.
IronPort1.example.com>scanconfig
There are currently 6 attachment type mappings configured to be SKIPPED.
Choose the operation you want to perform:
- NEW - Add a new entry.
- DELETE - Remove an entry.
- SETUP - Configure scanning behavior.
- IMPORT - Load mappings from a file.
- EXPORT - Save mappings to a file.
- PRINT - Display the list.
- CLEAR - Remove all entries.
- SMIME - Configure S/MIME unpacking.
[]> setup
1. Scan only attachments with MIME types or fingerprints in the list.
2. Skip attachments with MIME types or fingerprints in the list.
Choose one:
[2]>
Enter the maximum depth of attachment recursion to scan:
[5]>
Enter the maximum size of attachment to scan:
[5242880]>
<...>
Any message that is larger than this limit will be skipped by the scanning engine. This would mean that pertinent DLP policys and filters would not match that same message. Naturally, allowing larger messages to be scanned will result in performance risks, as more system resources would be required to complete the content scanning.

Input file size limition in File Reader Adapter
Hi,
We have a File Read Activity(using File Reader Adapter) which works on a Polling model. Whenever a input file is found in a designated directory it invokes our BPEL web service. During load testing we found out that if input file size exceeds 7 MB then we get "insufficient heap space" error. We found a reference to this size limitation in http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11036_01/integrate.1013/b28994.pdf which has below lines..
"Files that are 7MB or larger in size cannot be delivered. As an alternative, you can debatch large files (if they have multiple messages), and publish these files in messages of size less than 7 MB. This alternative is applicable only to structured files (comma-delimited or fixed position), which contain more than one message. It is not applicable to binary or XML files."
Our customer will have the data in XML format and the size of the files will be pretty huge(running into 49, 69 MBs). Do we have any workaround here or we are left with no option but to ask the customer to split the files and load it? The later option is currently difficult one for the customer since when split there is a possibility of XML becoming invalid. Any pointers in this issue is appreciated.
Thanks!
BalajiHi,
BPEL can not process more than 7 MB size xml structred file. but,debatching will work for xml files also provided if the file has repeated multiple structures (means multiple repeated root elements).

Increasing Email Size Limits for some users
Hi All,
For some users (management) i needed to arrange that they are able to send bigger files then the default 10MB limit to each other.
I used this procedure to do so,
https://www.simple-talk.com/sysadmin/exchange/increasing-email-size-limits-for-your-high-profile-users-in-exchange-2010/
In a nutshell:
Set Global Transport Org. Config to 200MB
Set Transport Send and Receive connector to 200MB
Created a Distribution group adding the MT members and me (for testing)
Created a transport Rule for the 10MB limit for all users and exception for the distribution group
(Believe me, i am not happy with the 200MB size limit)
All seems to work but i have one issue that i cannot tackel or maybe it is by design.
-Managemant can also send big files to all
users who do not have this privelige, this is not someting i want, sending 100MB+ attachments to over 150 users.
Is this by design or do i mis something?
Thanks,
RonHi RonGielgens,
Attachment size in exchange has to be set on
Global settings
Connectors (send and receive connectors)
Mailbox
The global settings will affect all the others. of course connectors will affect specific servers and mailbox one user. You have to set the global to the absolute max size you want to allow in your organization.
after you do this you will need either to set the 10MB on each mailbox
Get-Mailbox | Set-Mailbox -MaxSendSize 10MB -MaxReceiveSize 10MB
Then change the limit on specific mailbox
or another way is to create a transport rule that will reject the email if the attachment size it > 10MB unless the sender/recipient is the required user or group.
so basically create 2 transport rules
1. reject messages sent to anyone with attachment > 10mb unless the recipient is userX
2. reject messages sent from anyone with attachment > 10mb unless the sender is userX
Normal case it should not allow.
Thanks, MAS

Is There a size limitation for sending e-mail photos
I am using the latest version of MS Entourage and my mail account is with .MAC
Yesterday I highlighted two pictures in iphoto and clicked the e-mail icon but was then unable to send the mail. I got an error message. I deleted one of the phtos and still got the error.
I then discovered the size dialog box and clicked "small" and was able to send one photo.
I can receive mail with up to 20 attached Jpg items, But can't forward the same e-mail message. Is there a size limitation in Entourage or in .mac.
ThanksThere is no such limit with Entourage or Apple's Mail application but email account providers have an overall message size limit for received and sent messages.
.Mac has an overall message size limit of 10 MB for received and sent messages which is a typical limit but I have a few friends and business associates who have a smaller overall message size limit of 5 MB. Although I can send a message that is up to 10 MB in size with my .Mac account, the message will not be accepted by the incoming mail server for the friends and business associates with a 5 MB message size limit.
All files attached to a message must be encoded before being sent and decoded when received. Most email clients such as Entourage and Mail use MIME for attachment encoding/decoding which is the internet standard. A problem with MIME is it isn't very efficient. The encoding process increases the size of the pre-encoded file by roughly 50% of so. A file that is 5 MB in size (pre-encoded) will be roughly 7.5 MB in size due to the encoding process.
What was the exact error message provided? -
Recently some friends set up a group chat with 13 members. The chat works fine for everyone except me. My phone seems to not want any group chats with more than 10 people and it just splits the chat and makes new chats always excluding a few people. This really makes no sense considering the group chat works fine for all the other iphone users in the chat.
Hi,
i need to set a message size limit that applies to
both incoming and outgoing mail. I see there is an
user-attribute I can set on LDAP, mailmsgmaxblocks,
but the reference guide says that it is: "The size in
units of MTA blocks of the largest message that can
be sent to this user". I want the limit to apply to
messages SENT by an user, too.
I don't think that this can be an user-based
attribute, because mail it would not apply to users
not belonging to local domains sending inbound mail,
but there is an MTA-wide option I can set to do
this?I did find this option in the 2005Q4 messaging server reference guide:
<snip>
LDAP_SOURCEBLOCKLIMIT: The LDAP attribute to specify the maximum number of
blocks allowed in a user�s message. The MTA rejects messages containing more blocks than this from a user. An MTA block is normally 1024 bytes, but this can be changed
with the BLOCK_SIZE option in the MTA option file. This is a user analog to the sourceblocklimit keyword and has no default.
</snip>
This seems to describe exactly what you are after, I haven't personally tried it before.
Implementing will require jumping through a few hoops:
1. Extend your directory schema to add a new user attribute (you will need to dig through directory server manuals for help on this).
2. Add LDAP_SOURCEBLOCKLIMT=<attribute from (1)>
3. Add <attribute from (1)> to the users entry set to the the number of blocks of the maximum email e.g. 1024 would be 1MB email limit.
To limit ALL emails across the MTA, both incoming and outgoing, change the BLOCK_LIMIT option.dat variable:
"Places an absolute limit on the size, in blocks, of any message that may be sent or received with the MTA. Any message exceeding this size is rejected. By default, the MTA
imposes no size limits. Note that the blocklimit channel keyword can be used to impose limits on a per-channel basis. The size in bytes of a block is specified with the BLOCK_SIZE option."

Shane.
