Exchange 2013 Attachment Size Issue

Hi everybody,

I'm having some trouble with an Exchange 2013 server.

The users are not able to receive messages with a size bigger than 10MB, i tried with serveral attachments.

I already did te following:

Changed the maximum receive size through the ECP to 60MB (on the default frontend Exchange), and restarted te transport service.

Set the receive size through PowerShell with the following command.

set-transportconfig -maxreceivesize 35MB

when i check the receive size properties, it accepts 35MB messages. (get-transportconfig -property maxreceivesize)

Also restarted serveral Exchange transport services.

Checked the router if there are any special firewall rules, but there are none.

When I send an email with an attachment (PDF about 4 meg), it receives like it should.

Once I send a same email but with an 11meg PDF file, it is not delivered.

When sending this e-mail and attechment, i checked the box to notify me when the message has been deliverd.

I don't get any response, no NDR, nothing...

Tried e-mail tracking but there is no trace of my message.

Am I missing anything?

Kind regards,

Tim

Hi,

Please check the message size limit on receive connector, by default its 35MB

Get-ReceiveConnector connector name| fl MaxMessageSize

Also check if there are any message size limit in transport rule.

Get-transportrule | fl MessageSizeOver

Hi Lynn-Li,

The "Get-ReceiveConnector connector name| fl MaxMessageSize" gives me a 35MB size, that should be enough.

"Get-transportrule | fl MessageSizeOver" gives me a blank response, i did not configure any specific rules.

I also checked all the ReceiveConnectors, they all accept a size of 35MB.

The issue still exists, any ideas?
