Cannot Send Mail to Distribution Group

We are running Exchange 2013 and have a problem where users are getting NDR reports when trying to send mail with a small attachment a Universal Distribution Group. The message received back is:
Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups:
_Group ([email protected])
The recipient won't be able to receive this message because it's too large.
The maximum message size that's allowed is 2 MB. This message is 3 MB
Why are messages to distribution groups capped at 2MB and how can I increase it to at least 10?

Hi Will,
Check the distributiongroup maxreceivesize parameter. With Powershell.
Get-DistributionGroup -Name <Name> | FL
It can be changed using:
Set-DistributionGroup -Name <Name> -MaxReceiveSize XXXXX
It can also be changed in the Exchange Administreative Center here:
 Recipients > Mailboxes > EditEdit icon > Mailbox features > Mail flow > Message size restrictions > View details > Received messages
You can Refer to this link for further Exchange 2013 Message size limits.

  • Cannot send mail to a group if hiding addresses

    I can't send mail to a group unless I show all member addresses. If I uncheck this preference I recieve the following error dialogue:
    This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
    Sending the message content to the server failed.
    Very frustrating and infuriating for my reciepients. Any ideas?

    Thank you Klaus,
    In mail help, Bcc is indicated as an alternative to unchecking the box saying show names in group when sending. Any ideas as to why the preference doesn't work?

  • Exchange 2010 Mail Enabled Distribution Group Won't Receive from External Address

    Let me pre-empt the usual first response: yes, I've unchecked "require that all senders are authenticated" on the Message delivery Restrictions properties of Message Delivery Restrictions. I cannot get a message from an external mail server to
    send to an internal mail-enable distribution group. It's working internally. I've checked our ironport and the message is being sent to exchange (at least I think it is).
    How can I troubleshoot this?!

    Ironport is definitely sending this email to exchange. Please read:

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Prohibit Sending Emails to Distribution Group at specific times

    Hi team,
    I have a request from my company to prohibit certain users from sending emails to Specific Distribution group at certain times.(12AM-7AM)
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards

    Hi,
    Based on my research, there is no feature in Exchange server to directly meet your requirement: reject specific users sending emails to specific distribution group at specific times.
    We can use transport rule in Exchange 2007 and later version to achieve Reject specific users sending emails to specific distribution group. Create a rule in Exchange EMC:
    Apply rule to messages
    from "[email protected]" or "[email protected]"
    and sent to "[email protected]"
    send "cannot send messages to this group" to sender with "5.7.1"
    About schedule the transport rules, there is no feature in Exchange supporting it. I find an article about scheduling a transport rule by using task schedule in Server manager. Just for your reference:

  • Cannot Send Mail

    I just tried sending a email from my iphone this morning and I get the message "Cannot Send Mail, the sender address was invalid"
    For the past 3 months everything has been fine and mail has been working perfectly. I haven't changed any of the settings at all. However, I did notice this morning that when I logged into my Gmail account online that they've changed they're layout. Seems like quite the coincidence that Google changed their layout and all of a sudden I can't send mail on the phone.
    If anybody else is having this problem, or knows of how to resolve it, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

    The user in this thread is having the same issue. I am not having any problems sending mail from my gmail account after the update.

  • We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is: Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

    About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself.

  • TS3276 Cannot send mail from my iPad...."user name and or password is incorrect"......mail can be sent from my iPhone

    Why do I get the message   "Cannot send mail, the user name and or password for my email outgoing server is incorrect"?  I use the same account, etc. on my iPhone and haven't any trouble sending mail.

    If your email requires a password for the SMTP server you can set it up in the settings in the General mail setup. Some i.e Gmail require a password for SMTP.
    Otherwise you will probably get better answers in the iPad forum.

  • Cannot Send Mail from my iPhone 4s

    I am no longer able to send out replies or new emails from my phone, this is very recent and I have tried everything I know of.. But I am not THAT tech-savvy.
    So, anyways, when I go to send an email or reply to one, I get a pop-up box that says "Cannot Send Mail - The username or password for "said"-hotmail account is incorrect." So then I go to the settings enter my correct password for my hotmail account, it accepts it, and try again. Same pop-box appears, even though my password and username are both correct.  I know that they are correct because I am able to receive email with no problems at all.
    Is this a fixable problem or should I call Apple or take my phone in directly to them and have one of the techs look at it ?
    Thanks;
    Odyssy

    Problems with sending mail is rooted in the settings for the SMTP server. There are places in this that say the username and password are optional, but normally are required by many email providers. Go back into the SMTP server settings and check all of the areas. I also agree with Doctor9fan to check your SSL settings. If you cannot get it to work like this, then remove the account from the device and add it back. As you complete the creation, make sure the account verifies. You can also check the Microsoft site to make sure settings are correct for Hotmail.

  • Cannot send mail from my ipad

    I cannot send mails from my ipad, I have checked settings with my mail server and they tell me that everything is OK, they don't know what may be causing the problem, any ideas?

    TBS2.
    There is no way for anyone to know if your problem is identical to the problem reported by maria_diaz. She didn't mention anything about getting the "relaying" message. I suggest you start a new question that gives a good title to a specific problem. Then in the body of the thread describe the problem in detail, tell us what steps you have tried so far to correct the problem, what happened, and what error messages you received.

  • Cannot send mail from any mail account

    I have a Mac Mini, late 2014 model, running OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2.   I have constant difficulty sending mail from any of my mail accounts; these are iCloud, Googlemail, Yahoo and a personal one which uses 123-reg.co.uk.  I am currently located in Greece, but have been having trouble for ages, even in the UK.  I can receive mail, but I don't seem able to send it.  Error message is usually simply cannot send mail using this server, select a different server.  However, when connection doctor is run, all servers appear to be connected and I am logged in.  Any ideas please?
