Re: [SAGE] choosing the proper max SMTP message size



Hi,
We accept up to 50MB mailfiles during prime shift (weekdays 8am-6pm) and up to 100MB during non-primeshift times).

Good afternoon,I currently have the situation where legitimate attachments are being rejected due to the message size.  The other side of the conundrum is that our users (and their correspondents) are not very technical and often have difficulty with FTP which results in help desk calls, etc.  I should also add that we have also experienced size-creep over the years.  We started with 2M size, then 3, then 5, then 6, 8, 10, etc. I believe that our servers can continue to handle the increased attachments as they really don't happen all that often.  It's just that I have been asked to come up with a permanent solution so we don't have the problem or help desk calls any more.I'm curious about what most sites set the max SMTP message size to and how problems like this have been overcome or worked around.Thanks,- Bennett
