Outgoing Message Size Limit?

I realize that in SA or postfix.conf I can limit the size of incoming messages, but can/should I limit the size of outgoing messages?
Currently the limit is set at 10 MB in SA and this seems also to be throttling the outgoing message size to 10 MB -- does the limit work in both directions?
Postconf shows: messagesizelimit = 10485760 and client messages in excess of 10 MB are not being sent.
Cheers

I'm pretty sure this is a 2-way setting for both in and out mail. I would say basically the logic on this is what ever size mail you dish out you better be able to take it too, lol. Alex can chime in if I'm wrong. Nowadays 10MB is a good limit but be aware that the receiving mail servers need to be able to accept the size your sending as well. If you set your limit to high and people send file over the 10MB size you'll just be wasting bandwidth to your ISP since your server will send it out but it will get rejected once the other mail servers sees it's to big.

Group message size limit bug

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."

Cant send a picture message, message size limit reached

My droid razor just recently started to not let me add pictures to messages. It says the pictures to large that it has to be resized, its always said that but then it would resize it and it would send. but now it is starting to say message size limit reached sorry, you cannot add this picture to your message i tryed to use old pictures in a message that ive previously been able to send and i get the same message. My pictures are set on widescreen 6MP right now and video resolution HD+ (1080p) i tryed changing these settings and it still doesnt work. i have pictures that are 1.2MP and they wont even send. it wont let me send a video or audio either only text. Please help!

zjoy622011-
I definitely want to help restore the devices capability of sending photos! Has the device gone through any recent updates? Is this just picture messaging, or also photo sharing like Facebook, Instagram, etc? If you are using any third party texting apps, I recommend trying the built-in messaging app instead. Also, what city & state are you located in? I want to ensure there are no issues related to the network involved here.
Keep me posted!

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 ;-)

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.

Message size limit

Hi all,
I have a question regarding the message size for the mapping:
What is the size limit for messages when using the XSLT mapping methods?
What are the maximum message sizes (if any) for the other methods like ABAP mapping, Graphical mapping, JAVA Mapping and XSLT Mapping (JAVA) ?
Looking foward to hear from you:)
Regards
Markus

Hi Markus,
Just go through the belwo thread which talks about the same.
Wat is the maximu size of data XI can handle
Also go through the mapping performance which helps u in understanding the performance as well.

CEM message size limit

We are still running Cisco E-Mail Manager 5.0. Does anyone know if CEM has a limit on message/attachment size. There are messages (all with attachment larger that 1mb) in the Exchange mailbox for CEM that are not getting delivered to the CEM server. I sent a test message with attachment less than 1mb and it went through just fine. Anything larger just sits in the Exchange inbox.
If there's a limit, how can it be changed?

Wow, it's been ages since I worked on CEM.
There certainly is an attachment limit - that was one of the things they wanted to get away from with EIM. For some strange reason, the figure 2MB sticks in my mind as the upper limit.
You seem to be finding otherwise, though. I'll have a look at some old docs.

Outgoing email size limit

I am trying to send a .mov on email and I am getting a message "Cannot send message using server. Your message has size 196 MB, which exceeds 5.0 MB, the maximum allowed by the server." I'm sure I always sent larger emails than this on Outlook - any suggestions?
Also is there a way you can store your emails into folders?
Thanks,

Hi Tammy,
A 196MB email attachement?!?! WOW!!! That will take an awhile to send and quite a long time to be received.
The size of the attachment is set by your ISP, not the email client. If you regularly need to send large files you should consider a different solution - FTP etc.
If, for whatever reason, you want to only do it by email then try the following link - http://www.yousendit.com/

Call Handler outgoing message length limit?

I am running Unity 4.0(5)and I have setup a call handler to play a recorded message for all incoming callers (Snow Information). My problem is after about 2 minutes unity cuts off the message as it's being recorded. is there a setting someplace that defines the allowed length of recordings left for incoming callers?

I think you need to do this in interview handler section.

How to limit mail size of outgoing messages per domain/user

Hello,
i want to limit the size of a mail a user can send. For inbound mail there are attributes in the directory service: mailDomainMsgMaxBlocks and mailMsgMaxBlocks.
But these limitations only enforce the size of incoming mail.
I've read the messaging server admin guide but all i could find out is that i could limit the size of outgoing mail via a channel.
For me this solution ist not granular enough. I want to set the outgoing mail size limit per user. Furthermore i don't know the impact of configuring 200+ channels for enforcing individual outgoing mail size limits per hosted domain.
Does anybody know a solution for this problem? Maybe i've read over something. Or can anybody tell me the performance impact of 200+ channels at least?
Thank you very much,

Hi jay_plesset,
thanks a lot for your clarifications.
Why would you need 200 channels? That sounds like a
very strange setup. Setting outbound max size per
user sounds like a very unusual demand, too.Let me explain: I got several departments who control their email settings in the messaging server via a webapp. So they can add, delete and modify users. They can manage mailing lists and so on. It's really a cool tool :-) I want this thing to be as granular as an own mailserver for the department would be. So it would be cool when the webapp writes an attribute like maxMsgBlocks in the DS and the thing is done.
I don't understand why you guys could do the stuff for inbound but not for outbound. Is there a technical reason or is it just because it seems strange? :-)
If you REALLY need something like that, 200 channels
would need a POOL of at least 200 jobs in order to
reliably run, and that's likely to need lots of
system memory.I think that's not the way i want to go.
Consider a custom channel, or something like that,
that does an LDAP lookup for setting message size on
sending. You'd need to enforce smtp authentication,
so you know who your messages are coming from, first,
and then you could proceed from there. This is not a
trivial setup.Sounds interesting. Any documentation hints for custom channels?
Thanks again for your reply,

Size limit of column content

Can anyone tell me if there is a limit on the size of a data item that you can retrieve into a report column. I have in the back of my mind that there is a limit of either 30k or 32k but I can't find it documented anywhere.
Many thanks.

Hi Everyone;
I am running advanced analysis reports on HANA as datasource and I am getting the message Size Limit of Result Set Exceeded whenever I have a larger output. I have noticed that in the admin guide and in other SCN posts about this setting in Windows Registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SAP\AdvancedAnalysis\Settings\DataSource]
"ShowBicsSample"="True"
"ResultSetSizeLimit"="-1"
But I am having hard time finding this setting in my windows registry; can someone help me understand why I don't have it in my registry? and how to find it and change this setting?
FYI...I am using Office 2010.

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
Thanks

Hi,
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

WL5.1 max message size

          Does anyone know the practical JMS message size limit in weblogic 5.1? Can I send
          a 10 meg message? 20 meg?
          While we're on the subject, how does wl7 preform with similar sized messages?
          (we're actually sending messages from wl7 to wl5.1 via the bridge)
          Thanks

          I think this question came up recently - I think there is no
          5.1 configurable but I'm not 100% sure. The related 6.0
          and up configurable is a network setting on the WL server
          (defaults to 10MB) for the particular protocol you
          are using (t3). There is no practical limit in message
          size except for memory limitations
          of the JVM (2GB), except that it impacts performance.
          You might try
          the "performance" newsgroup to see if there is a 5.1
          configurable.

          In general each release performs the same as or significantly
          better than previous releases.
          For JMS performance tuning
          info, including bridge tuning info,
          I highly recommend skimming through the JMS Performance
          Guide white-paper. You can find it here:

WLS7 JMS Max Message Size

          I have done a search and found many questions on Max Message size, but I didnt
          find any relating specifically to WLS7.
          Q1: Is there a JMS Message Size limit the same as the T3 Max Message size?
          Q2: Does the WLS JMS implementation "chunk" large JMS messages into multiple T3
          messages?
          Cheers,
          Nick


Hi Nick,
          The performance is hard to predict. It is highly dependent on message
          type, application overhead, persistence, store type, CPU and network
          speed, etc., so you will need to measure it yourself. I think you will
          find that once message size exceeds 100K, perhaps less, perhaps more,
          JMS throughput is directly proportional to message size. (eg. it takes
          the same amount of time to send 10 100K messages as it does to send 1
          1MB message.)
          I understand what your "chunking" question were about now. You may
          find it useful to know that since its earliest releases, WebLogic
          outbound requests from one JVM to another are "single threaded" from a
          layered application's point of view: outbound traffic from one
          application must wait until previous requests posted by other apps are sent.

Mailbox migration - Item size limit

I'm in the process of migrating mailboxes from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010. I had one mailbox so far with an item bigger than my message size policy allows, so that item did not migrate. I suspect there will be more items. Is there a command I can issue
with the local move request EMS commands to allow items bigger than the send policy?

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd351123(v=exchg.141).aspx
The AllowLargeItem parameter specifies that the message size limit will not be enforced on the message item during the move operation.
A value does have to be specified when you use the AllowLargeItem parameter

Max message size with Mail 2.0.5?

What's the max size for a sent mail message? I've tried 5 MB and that doesn't work--and archiving using File>Create Archive only reduces by ~20%.
AlBook 15 1.67 GHz, 1GB RAM, 128MB VRAM, 80GB HD, single-layer SD [7/12/05] Mac OS X (10.4.3)

The maximum size for a mail message (received and sent) is determined by your ISP or email account provider.
A .Mac account has a 10MB overall message size limit for each received and sent message but if you send a message that is 9.5MB and the recipient's ISP or email account provider imposes a 5MB limit for received messages, the message will be rejected by the recipient's incoming mail server.
In addition, all message attachments must be encoded before being sent. The Mail.app uses MIME 1.0 for message encoding which is the internet standard.
As a general rule, MIME encoded binary file attachments are approximately 150% of the size of the original pre-encoded file, i.e. a 5MB file can easily exceed 7.5MB once encoded and attached to an email.
You need to check with your ISP or email account provider regarding their restriction for the overall size of a sent message and you also need to check with the recipient to confirm they can receive a message with the overall size of the message after any attachments are encoded by the Mail.app.
