Restrict maximum message size like on other phones?

Hi,
just found out that the mail application on the iPhone always downloads the full content of a message when its size is below 50KB. If, however, the message size is 50KB or more, the iPhone only seems to download it when the message is accessed by the user. I've just tested this the following way:
1. Sent two mails via Exchange ActiveSync to the phone, one with a size of 47KB, another with a size of 52KB.
2. Turned on airplane mode
3. In mail, the message with a size of 47KB could opened and views as it was completely downloaded. While opening the 52KB message I however received a note that message cannot be viewed as it hasn't been downloaded yet.
So, at least when using Exchange ActiveSync (haven't tested other protocols) the maximum size of automatically pushed messages seems to be 50KB.
Do you know whether there is a possibilty to restrict this size? Since when using the iPhone in another country 50KB per mail could be quite expensive compared to other Phones that allow you to restrict the size of the content being automatically downloaded (i.e. Windows Mobile where you can choose or Mail for Exchange on Symbian where only 2KB of each message are downloaded automatically).
I wish there was an option for it. Would be nice to see this at some stage in software 3.0.
Thanks

Long question, short answer.... you can't adjust how the iPhone decides to download the full content of an email. That feature has not been mentioned for 3.0.

JMS Adapter Maximum Message Size Restriction and Impact

Hi ,
We have business requirements,where the Maximum message size that needs
to be sent or received from around 25 to 30MB usig JMS XI channels.
But, "Note 856346 - J2EE JMS Adapter: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)"
specifies as below,
2.12)What are the message size restrictions in 640/700 release and also
710 releases?
Answer: The maximum message size for 640/700 releases is "10MB"
Please let us know,
1) If you see any issues with JMS XI Adapter handling 30MB messages in
Production systems.
2) If 30MB is huge, what is the maximum permissible message size
greater than 10MB as break point.
regards,
Amit

1) If you see any issues with JMS XI Adapter handling 30MB messages in
Production systems.
If message size beyond 10MB then the message wont come to SXMB_MONI itself.....may be even in CC monitoring there may not be an entry....you mentioned Production Systems.....did you checked in Dev? The behavior wont change from Dev to Prod.
2) If 30MB is huge, what is the maximum permissible message size
greater than 10MB as break point.
10MB itself is the limit...anything above that wont be processed.

Exchange 2007 send connector does nor respect Maximum message size (sometimes...)

Hi to all
We have 9 email server, 5 Mailboxes, 2 CAS and 2 HT, We began to have problems to send and receive from internet; so I checked the queues and I discovered that some users are sending messages with a size greater than 16 MB, althought internally can send
until 40MB, if they send externally, only until 16MB.
I revised all the configuration:
Organization Configuration/Hub Transport/Global Settings/ Maximum send size (KB):40960
Server Configuration/Hub Transport/HT01/Receive Connectors/Default HT01/Maximum message size(KB): 40960 (only this server can send outside, the other server is in spare)
Organization Configuration/Hub Transport/Send Connector/SendMailOuside/Maximum message size(KB) 16386
We send by an Smart host that is used only by the HT01 to a Symantec server.
With this, we have this situations:
In the queue, I see some users are sending emails with a size more than 16MB outside the organization, I revised their configuration and the "maximun send size" is clear the checkbox (just like my account), the weir is if I try to send an email
with a size more than 16MB, I got the message: "#550 5.3.4 ROUTING.SizeLimit; message size exceeds fixed maximum size for route ##", this is not sense because their account configuration is the same like mine, so the Exchange must not let
them to put the email in the queue...
If between internal users try to send an email with size more than 16MB, this is allowed and it's send without any problem
So I don't know where is the misconfiguration, is permited to send mails with size less than 40MB internally, but externally only until to 16MB, but I din't know why the Exchange system let some users to send (or at least put in the queue) this kind of messages,
my account is in the same DB like the other users...
I hope to be clear in the description of the situation, maybe a patch or some thing, the HT server has the January patch and in april will be applied the last patchs.
Doc MX

Hi DocMX,
Thank you for your question.
We could run the following command:
Get-TransportConfig | FL max*size
Then, we could check the send connector by the following command:
Get-SendConnector | FL Identity,MaxMessageSize
We could run the following command to check an individual user maximum size.
Get-Mailbox <username> | FL Name,Max*size
In my solution, we could rebuild the user profile that those users could send emails more than 16MB to check if the issue persist.
We could also restart the service of “Microsoft Exchange Transport”.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

Maximum message size for internal users

Hi,
Is it possible to configure a maximum message size for internal users and also create exceptions?
The templates available in Transport Rules only allow for "when size of any attachment is greater or equal". This is not ideal as users can add 50 X 1MB attachaments to an email etc.
Configuring Transport settings or Receive Connectors do not allow for exceptions.
Thank you.

Hi Prakash,
Thanks for the link to the thread. The AD site link configuration is valid but does not account for the required exceptions. E.g User A can send unlimited size message to User B but not to User C.
The thread also mentions the Transport Rule configuration stated in my original post but that configuration has one major flaw. Users can circumvent the control by splitting attachments.

Maximum Message Size

Hi,
          I have had to increase the Maximum Message Size on each of several weblogic server instances from 10,000,000 bytes to 30,000,000 bytes. The upper limit for this value is 2,000,000,000 bytes.
          What are the performance implications for the other server instances when this field limit is increased?
          Does anyone have a recommended initial value for this?
          Any help would be greatly appreciated.
          Thanks.

Hi,
          This maximum message size helps guard against a denial of service attack in which a caller attempts to force the server to allocate more memory than is available thereby keeping the server from responding quickly to other requests.
          Secure value is 10000000.
          Go through the following link and find the needfull information on this issue.

Maximum message size in AS/JMS?

Is there a maximum message size that the Oracle 10G AS JMS provider can handle? It works fine with 63-64KB message sizes, but if I send anything larger it rejects the message.
I'm pretty sure there's a way to adjust this limit, but I cannot find it.

It doesn't seem to throw an error message - at least not in the logs that I have searched through -but rather simply rejects the message. Everything works properly if the message is trimmed to fit the 64K limit.

javax.jms.JMSException: JMSRemoteServer[server1:3701]: remote server is closed

Maximum Message size OSB can handle

Hi,
I am trying to find out the maximum message size OSB can handle without any problems.
I know this may be dependant on JVM settings etc,but what is a safe limit.Can the payload size be of 1 GB etc , say for a WSDL based proxy service.
Any formal documentation on the size of messages?
Thanks.

Extending maximum message size

I want to extend the maximum message size for a standalone client which is implemented according to the documentation. The server (9.1) is already configured for an extended message size of 20000000 via web console (environment - server - protocols - general). But I get the "weblogic.socket.MaxMessageSizeExceededException: Incoming message of size: '10000080' bytes exceeds the configured maximum of: '10000000' bytes for protocol: 't3'" independently whether I give the parameter "-Dweblogic.MaxMessageSize=20000000" (or MaxT3MessageSize) to the clients jvm or not. How can I increase the message size?

It doesn't seem to throw an error message - at least not in the logs that I have searched through -but rather simply rejects the message. Everything works properly if the message is trimmed to fit the 64K limit.

Security Services \ Outbreak Filters - Maximum Message Size to Scan?

We still have the Maximum Message Size to Scan: set to 256K is that too low by today's standards?

We have our set to 1M. The only issue is that it will use more memory to scan. Other than that, no issues for us when we change it.

552 Message size exceeds maximum message size

[Dell Inspiron 560 desktop;
MS Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit; Windows Live Mail 2011; MS Word Pro 2003; Mozilla Firefox 22.0; Adobe FP 11,8,800,94; Adobe Reader 11.......]
Hello, I have the same problem, 10 emails I sent out bounced with the following same error message:
">>>xxxxxxxxxatxxxxxxxx.co.il(reading confirmation): 552 Message size exceeds maximum message size"
And they also sent the headers....which is all Greek to me. Being a very beginner computer user, I can't execute the good advice given here.
This is very strange since the emails so bounced only had 5 small pictures I had taken in my small, cheap dig camera, while other messages I had sent out
successfully before were probably 4 times as big.
Also, whose fault is it: my server RCN? Microsoft? I wonder...
I hope there's something easier for me to do to fix this problem?
Thanks ever so much for any help! :) Adela

It says to me that the message you sent was rejected along the way because it was too big. Ask the e-mail administrator of the system that's bouncing it.

Maximum message size JMS adapter can pick

Maximum message size problem

Hello,
I'm trying to send a message of 30MB and the log reports:
"552 5.2.3 sorry, that message size exceeds the maximum "
After configuring sourceblocklimit and blocklimit in channels parameters the message still apears.
I have compiled :/opt/SUNWmsgsr/sbin/imsimta cnbuild
/opt/SUNWmsgsr/sbin/imsimta restart dispatcher
and restarted services.
What else should I change to send the message?
Thanks in advance.

the log looks like:
31-Mar-2005 18:31:45.20 tcp_intranet tcp_local E 36763 [email protected] rfc822;[email protected] [email protected]
31-Mar-2005 18:31:48.89 tcp_local R 36763 [email protected] rfc822;[email protected] [email protected] dns;gsmtp185-2.google.com (TCP|200.12.176.35|43298|64.233.185.114|25) (mx.gmail.com ESMTP 16si699150wrl) smtp;552 5.2.3 sorry, that message size exceeds the maximum
The messages is enqueued, so this tells me that limitation is outside?

Ulimit and launchctl both fail to restrict maximum file size

I've submitted a bug report, but I figured I'd open this up to the community. I can't seem to find any way to set restrictions on the maximum file size that can be created on OS X.   I've tested both Snow Leopard and Lion.
*** Ulimit method:
$ ulimit -f 100000
$ ulimit -f
100000
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/zero
Filesize limit exceeded: 25
$ ls -al /tmp/zero
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin wheel 102400000 Jul 5 08:23 /tmp/zero
$ ulimit -f
unlimited
*** launchctl method:
$ launchctl limit filesize 100000
$ launchctl limit filesize
filesize    100000         100000
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/zero
dd: /tmp/zero: No space left on device
54883985+0 records in
54883984+0 records out
28100599808 bytes transferred in 683.205935 secs (41130497 bytes/sec)
$ ls -al /tmp/zero
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin wheel 28100599808 Jul 5 08:36 /tmp/zero
$ launchctl limit filesize
filesize    unlimited      100000
In the first case, a limit does get set. But when the first launched application returns control back to the terminal, the limit gets reset back to "unlimited".    In the second case, launchctl does appear to list a soft and hard limit for "filesize", however it does not stop dd from filling up the disk. Running launchctl again shows an "unlimited" soft limit, but the hard limit remains.
I've even tried setting a persistent, global limit via /etc/launchd.conf.   launchctl reports this limit, however there is nothing stopping huge files from being created.
I do think that this is a bug on OS X, but perhaps there's something I'm overlooking? If it is a bug, is there some workaround that I can use?
Thanks
-WD

There are no file size limits to the software beyond what would be imposed by the operating system itself and the file format of the drive.
So...assuming you have enough drive space, something else is going on.

Maximum message size for download

Hi - I have a problem in that Mail seems to have trouble downloading anything larger than approx 15mb. I occasionally get sent emails that are up to 30mb in size. They reach my mail server at the ISP without issue - it's just mail that chokes on them... Currently I have to use the web control panel from my ISP to access and download the big emails...
Is there a defined maximum size of message that Mail is limited to use?
Thanks for your help/comments!

Hi Prakash,
Thanks for the link to the thread. The AD site link configuration is valid but does not account for the required exceptions. E.g User A can send unlimited size message to User B but not to User C.

How to restrict max message size in outlook?

hi all
libimta.so 5.2 (built 15:07:23, Feb 21 2002)
SunOS sundb2 5.9 Generic_112233-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-880

Several thoughts:
1. You're using the original 5.2 released bits. We have released MANY updates since then. With hundreds of fixes. You should REALLY download and install 5.2p2 patch update. Takes 15 minutes:
http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=411bb50d
2. You question, "in outlook" makes answering very difficult. Messaging Server doesn't know Outlook as something different from any other client application. Are you asking, "how do I limit the size of ALL messages handled by the server?", or are you asking something else? If this is the question you're really asking, I can answer that for you. If it's not, please clarify, co I can understand what it is you want.
