Hello all,
only a question:
We plan decreasing the mail quota for sending/receiving emails from 40 MB to 15 MB:
My question is the following:
your quota
area of your company
amount of mail users
we are in area of subcontractors to the automotive industry and have about 2700 mail users
I mean the maximum size for sending/receiving email, not the quota for mailboxes!!!
Thank you in advance
Manfred

I dont have mailfile quota’s set as yet, have just taken over this position. I have intentions of implementing a 250MB - 300MB quota, but need to get it past management and how to deal with users with 3.5GB mailfiles.
As for message size limits, we have a 20MB maximun mail size, but any mail over 10MB is sent in offpeak time (between midnight and 6am).
Edit: we have approximately 1700 mail users.

Are you really talking about the quota, or the maximum message size? A 15MB quota is virtually useless.

-Staff 250MB
-Students 100MB

My suggestion would be to base your message size limit on what your users actually require, rather than on what other folks are doing. For instance, do your users need to be able to send/receive engineering animations (which can be pretty darned big), or complex PDFs with large numbers of illustrations? Can you force zipping of large files? Will current large files compress significantly?

I think 15 MB is quite low, given the simple fact that the mail file design elements take up quite a bit of space (unless you’re using Single Copy Template). Our lowest quota is 100MB. The company I work for is in the Health Care arena. I gues it all depends on your industry, records retention policy and mail traffic.

maximum email size is 8MB.our users is less than 200 users.
we are garment factory, that usually sent or receive emails with image attachment, 8 MB usually do well.
you can increate your maximum email size, but remember you also consider another side, how much they can receive email.
In my area, they usually have 8 MB of maximum size.
