The size limit on emails can be configured in different areas of the organization, as well as different objects. The query modify these permissions can be done through two different administrative tools. On one side is the Exchange Management Shell (EMS, the actions are carried out through commands) or through the Exchange Management Console (EMC, the actions are carried out in a graphical environment for windows).

Here are the different areas where you can change the parameter that limits the size of the messages going from the most global to the most particular and the different ways:

1. Global Scope
   
   • Get-TransportConfig
   • Set-TransportConfig-MaxSendSize 20MB-20MB MaxReceiveSize
   
   
   
2. Limits of connectors
   
   • Get-ReceiveConnector
   • Get-receiveconnector | List
   • Set-ReceiveConnector "connector name"-MaxMessageSize 20Mb
   • Get-SendConnector
   • Get-SendConnector | List
   • Set-SendConnector "connector name"-MaxMessageSize 20Mb
   • Get-TransportServer
   • Get-TransportServer | List
   • Set-TransportServer "server name"-MaxMessageSize 20Mb
   
   
   
3. Object Boundaries
   
   • Get-Mailbox
   • Get-Mailbox | List
   • Set-Mailbox-Identity username-MaxSendSize 20Mb
   • Get-MailContact
   • Get-MailContact | List

I find it interesting, just something messing with this, but I have a detail, I set the parameters global, max size = 20480, Receive at Maximum, send size = 1024, but when i send emails from an external domain with 2MB, that fails, bounce despite having 20MB.

What error reported by the server to the external domain users who send emails with over 2MB?

here i have Sample message of the letter exceeded size limitations in Exchange 2010. The user who sent the message, which exceeded the size limit in the receiving mailbox will receive the following:

Subject: Message to Sean
Posted on: 15/12/2011 5:40 PM
Following recipients of the message can not be delivered to:
Sean 15/12/2011 5:36 PM
This message exceeds the recipient's mailbox or the recipient's mailbox is full. Take a short message, or remove attachments and try sending again.

In Exchange 2010, you can limit the size of messages in different ways. It is desirable to know where and how to do it, and imagine the interaction of various constraints.

Managing Exchange Server 2010 is likely at some point have to deal with these issues in managing users and send email attachments outside the Company. Incidentally, has happened to me.

The information store keeps sending a message to the transport of larger than is permitted if the message size exceeds the maximum message size allowed for the user's mailbox.

1. Home Users and Computers Active Directory and look for the user account you want to configure.
2. Right mouse click on the user's account and Properties.
3. Click on the tab "Exchange General Options" and go to the tab "Delivery Restrictions" to set the maximum size that you want to allow.
