Webmail attachment size

Dear All,
Following is our settings :
./imsimta version
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7.0-5.01 64bit (built Feb 19 2009)
libimta.so 7.0-5.01 64bit (built 01:02:47, Feb 19 2009)
./configutil
service.http.maxmessagesize = 52428800
service.http.maxpostsize = 52428800
How come we fail to attach a single file which is larger than 20 Mbytes (error message : file too large) ?
Regards,
Steve

If I set my maxmessagesize/maxpostsize to 20MB and tried to upload a 22MB document I see the following message in the http.log file:
[12/Jun/2009:15:35:24 +1000] server httpd[20694]: General Error: [129.158.87.1:41544] HTTP POST 22664722 bytes exceeds maxpostsize 20971520

When I increased maxmessagesize/maxpostsize to 50MB (the same settings you are using) the attachment was successfully added.

How do I change the attachment size limit in Calendar Server 6.3, UWC, IWC?

How do I properly increase or decrease the attachment size limit with Calendar Server and all supported user interfaces to it such as WCAP, UWC (Communications Express) and IWC (Convergence)? From my experience with the Outlook Connector, there seems to be some limit imposed by cshttpd on the size of a file upload (I believe I actually got an HTTP error code back on the wcap request indicating something was too big, sorry I don't have it handy, I'll have to re-test). Additionally, it seems UWC imposes additional limits (Example: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-4440/6n6jfgcjh?l=en&a=view&q=fileSizeHardLimit) but I can't seem to get those to work at all. I found many different web.xml related to UWC and I'm not sure which one to change, I tried a couple but had no success because UWC would always report this error if I uploaded between 4-5 megs: com.iplanet.jato.util.WrapperRuntimeException
Root cause = [java.io.IOException: Request cancelled because file input field
"importFile" size is over the configurable limit of 4194304 bytes; see filter init
parameter fileSizeHardLimit]
And it would complain about requestSizeLimit I think if it was over 5 megs, claiming that limit was 5242880. IWC gives a generic error when the upload is too big and rejects it.
I fear that a 4 meg limit will be too imposing and of limited value, so I would either like to raise it, or consider lowering it to 0 bytes so attachments cannot be used at all. I have been looking high and low for information on how to do this and all I can find is the UWC examples. I plan to support the Outlook Connector, UWC, and IWC so the limits should ideally be the same across each. Some of the Exchange data we wish to import does have some attachments so it would be good to continue support for that. I did see some other posts about quota RFEs but at this point I am not concerned about the disk consumption. Can anyone help? Thanks. Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide. I am running SCS6u1 on Solaris 10 SPARC.

Thanks!!! This is working with IWC and I am pretty sure it will work with Outlook. I didn't think to look at config options for mshttpd since I don't have it installed and ics.conf doesn't list the http.service.maxmessagesize and service.http.maxpostsize by default.http.service.maxmessagesize is only relevant to mshttpd, not cshttpd. service.http.maxpostsize applies to both.
UWC is still limiting me though; I'm sure I can reconfigure UWC if I just know which file to edit and if I need to redeploy anything. I'm using the same install paths as the SCS6 Single Host example and I'm not sure which the "uwc-deployed-path" is supposed to be. Again, thanks.If you have deployed UWC/CE to Application Server you would edit the following file and restart application-server:
/opt/SUNWappserver/domains/domain1/generated/xml/j2ee-modules/Communications_Express/web.xml
e.g.
<filter>
    <filter-name>MultipartFormServletFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>com.sun.uwc.calclient.MultipartFormServletFilter</filter-class>
    <init-param>

How to increase the attachment size of a portal

Hi,
We have a portal developed using JSP.
We have an option for attaching files. Now the maximum limit is only 5 MB. So we thought of using FTP so that we can increase the attachment limit. But we are not able to attach files more than 1 MB.
Could you please help us in resolving this. Any idea how to increase the attachment size limit?
Thanks in advance

Maximum attachment size for Mail 4.3 and can it be changed?

Hi,
We are using Exchange 2010 at work and have found via several Mac users, and which I have verified myself, that Mac Mail appears to impose its own maximum attachment size limits, somewhere around 10MB. If I take the exact same message and send it via my PC running Outlook 2007 the message sends correctly.
We have 4 users who reported the same thing so it isn't isolated to one machine. I have confirmed and re-confirmed that our Hub and Edge transports are configured to allow 100MB e-mails. Mac Mail has other ideas.
Is there a way to change this limitation as I can't seem to find anything, via Google and/or searching these groups?
I don't want to go back to Thunderbird or, worse yet, Entourage......

It appears in this case to be a failure on Apples part to develop an application that support MAPI. Hopefully the forthcoming release of Office 2011 will rectify this situation.
As I said I have gone through our setup of 6 exchange servers, covering all the bases.
For instance,
get-mailbox <user> | fl MaxSize
MaxSendSize : 100 MB (104,857,600 bytes)
MaxReceiveSize : 100 MB (104,857,600 bytes)
Get-TransportConfig | fl MaxSize
MaxReceiveSize : 100 MB (104,857,600 bytes)
MaxSendSize : 100 MB (104,857,600 bytes)
All receive connectors are configured to 100MB also on our Hub Transports.
Even the fix listed in the links above, related to EWS and changing the IIS settings, which is where the issue seems to be, doesn't seem to work for me. It may be that I have missed something of course so I'll look over those links once more.
Maybe restarting IIS after the changes were made wasn't enough.....
Of course the other fix, since it works perfectly well with Windows machines and Outlook is to do away with our Macs entirely. Boy that would make me happy!!

Why is there a maximum email attachment size?

I can understand why there is a maximum MMS file message size but why is there a maximum email attachment size set by the handset? The limit is preventing me sending pictures from my phone. MMS messages are charged at a flat rate but GPRS data is chared per kB. My operator, Tmobile, say they have no limit on email message sizes (and obviously they make more money if you send a larger file. If I transfer my sim card to my laptop or PDA I am able to send any size of attachment with no problem. But with the sim back in the handset a limit of 100kB is imposed. I get the same result using both Tmobile or Orange sims. This is especially annoying if you have a phone that produces high quality images with file sizes several times the limit. You can have a great image with no means of sending it at its original resolution. Anyone know why this is?

Most operator's (carrier's) MMSC (Multimedia Messaging Service Center) servers do set a limit.
What the MMS size limit that's guaranteed to go through is defined by a document known as the MMS Conformance Document (maintained by OMA, Open Mobile Alliance, which is a standardization organization by mobile device manufacturers and network operators, primarily).
So, both the handsets (phones) may or may not have a size limit depending on how it was designed, and in addition the networks also have their own limits, and they do not need to be the same, but the doc I mentioned specifies what the devices and networks have to support, at least.
More on OMA (and you can try to find the MMS Conformance Doc, if you wish):

Maximum attachment size capable by Contentserver and/or Gateway

Hi there,
is there a maximum attachment size for up- & downloading attachments to the Contentserver? Are there any known file measurements capable by the Gateway? While playing around with an 100 MB file our Tomcat (we are running the 5.0.2 Portal and Contentserver version) screwed up and needed a restart.
If there are any "best practices" for file measurement it would be nice, if you can provide us with some information. Figuring it out while increasing or decreasing it step-by-step sounds like a hardly painful job to me ;-)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards, Martin

Email attachment size limit?

I noticed today that when I attach a photo from my external hard drive to an email on my Macbook Pro, the attachment drops in size significantly. I want to attach a photo that is 800kb but it shows up in the email as being 142kb. Why is this? How can I keep the attachment at its original size?

Your ISP sets the limit. Speak to them and get the max attachment size.

Not able to attach file above 5MB after increasing attachment size to 10 MB

Hi,
My environment,
Exchange 2007
Exchange 2010
Migration is in process.
Max Send size is set to 10 MB
Max Receive size is set to 10 MB.
Issue:-
After increasing my sending and receiving size, exchange 2010 users are unable to add attachment in outlook more than 5 MB.
Error:-
"The attachment size exceeds the allowable limit"
Same error is occuring in OWA.
Only Exchange 2007 users are able to attach file more than 5MB.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
From your description, I would like to clarify the following thing:
There are some types of message size limits and several scope of limits. Please check the message size limits and attachment size limits in your organization, connector, server and user.
For more information, here is a helpful thread for your reference:

Email Attachment Size Etiquette

I'm looking for opinions on what is the biggest "polite" email attachment size.
By this I mean.. how big of a file can you send without calling them to make sure they aren't out of the country for a week because your huge attachment will fill their mailbox and reject all incoming mail for the next three days and it's your fault... Oh and it's your most important client... (I swear this hasn't happened.)
I'm thinking it is still around 5MB. What are your thoughts.

Internally in an enterprise, 5MB
Externally, 1MB, and usually zipped.
I'd be annoyed if someone was sending me 5MB mails to my iphone over EDGE!

Maximum SOAP attachment Size?

Gurus
I have synchronous scenario that is SOAP - PI - PROXY where the proxy responds with an attachment containing the actual data. The response message contains 5 fields and PI just passes through the attachment back to original SOAP call. There is no mapping in this scenario.
While this scenario is working perfectly, we would like to determine the maximum size attachment that can come through the PI server without adversely impacting the server performance. I can not seem to find any documentation that discusses the maximum attachment size for server performance.
Do any of you have any you have anything booked marked or know from experience what the maximum attachment size should be? Is it simply a matter of a timeout on the HTTPs connection?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all of the great answers so far.
I am able to run larger files through by adjusting the timeout feature in WSnavigator. We had some discussion here about this and we think that the amount of RAM on the machine will also be a factor. The blog seems to confirm that.
The servers we have are pretty hefty, but in order to not impact the other interfaces we have running through PI we want to keep the attachments to a reasonable size so that the consumer application is not opening more HTTP connections to our box than needed.
I guess we will only be able to answer this by testing.

Exchange 2013 / Outlook 2010+ Attachment size limit

I have an issue with my Exchange 2013 deployment. I am unable to send attachments over 10MB. I know, I know not another one of those threads, but I promise I have searched for a solution to my issue as best I can before posting.
So in the EMC I have set the Send/Receive connectors to unlimited, I have set the organizational limits to unlimited, I have even set both the Internal and ExternalDsnMaxMessageAttachSize
to 2047MB.
I have restarted the the Exchange Transport service, failing that I restarted the Exchange Box. I have closed and opened my Outlook Client Several times but when ever
I select an attachment over 10MB I get the message "The Attachment size exceed the allowable limit"
There must be something I am missing but I can't see it. I did also check my (and other) user accounts to confirm that no limits had somehow been set, they are all unconfigured or
blank in the EMC which my research has told means there is no limit on the account.
Now I know in in non exchange environment there are limits on the client, but attached to an exchange server these limits are supposed to be driven by exchange.

1. If you send a message larger than 10MB from an external client to your org, does it bounce back because its over the limit?
2. Do you see the same problem sending internally with OWA?
