Hi, I have setup exchange 2010 with win 2008R2 on same machine. When trying to increase the message size for OUTGOING EMAILS its not happenig & getting error in OWA(not checked in outlook). I hv done changes in Send Connector & Global settings(transport) to 20MB even increased one user mailbox mail flow settings to 20MB but still issue remains the same. have only 1 DC & its now 2hrs that I have done this setting. Was fiddiling around to get this issue resolved but lastly posted here. Error in detail is The recipient won't be able to receive this message because it's too large. The maximum message size that's allowed is 10 MB. This message is 16 MB. Diagnostic information for administrators: Generating server: arora_tarun@hotmail.com #550 5.2.3 RESOLVER.RST.RecipSizeLimit; message too large for this recipient ## pls advice/help

Did you also change this on your inbound receive connectors? Under Server Configuration, Hub Transport, then normally Default receive connector for each HUB role server you have. Run "Get-ReceiveConnector | ft Name,MaxMessageSize" to get a listing for all your receive connectors, and "Get-ReceiveConnector | Set-ReceiveConnector -MaxMessageSize 20480" to change it to 20 MB for all your receive connectors.

Then move the mailbox to another database (that'll cut the wait time for the change down to the time it takes to move the mailbox -- or just create a new mailbox without limits and use that to see if it works). If you want to get a good idea about what limits are set and if there are places you might have missed, run this script. It won't check individual mailbox limits, but it does a good job of checking everything else). ##################################################### $connectors = @() get-sendconnector | foreach { $s = $_.MaxMessageSize if ($s -isnot [object]) {$s = '-'} $conn = new-object PSObject $conn | add-member NoteProperty ConnectorType 'Send' $conn | add-member NoteProperty ConnectorName $_.Name $conn | add-member NoteProperty MaxReceiveMessageSize '-' $conn | add-member NoteProperty MaxSendMessageSize $s $connectors += $conn } get-receiveconnector | foreach { $r = $_.MaxMessageSize if ($r -isnot [object]) {$r = '-'} $conn = new-object PSObject $conn | add-member NoteProperty ConnectorType 'Receive' $conn | add-member NoteProperty ConnectorName $_.Name $conn | add-member NoteProperty MaxReceiveMessageSize $r $conn | add-member NoteProperty MaxSendMessageSize '-' $connectors += $conn } $tc = get-transportconfig $r = $tc.MaxReceiveSize if ($r -isnot [object]) {$r = '-'} $s = $tc.MaxSendSize if ($s -isnot [object]) {$s = '-'} $n =$_.Name if ($n -isnot [object]) {$n = '-'} $conn = new-object PSObject $conn | add-member NoteProperty ConnectorType 'TransportConfig' $conn | add-member NoteProperty ConnectorName $n $conn | add-member NoteProperty MaxReceiveMessageSize $r $conn | add-member NoteProperty MaxSendMessageSize $s $connectors += $conn get-routinggroupconnector | foreach { $r = $_.MaxMessageSize if ($r -isnot [object]) {$r = '-'} $conn = new-object PSObject $conn | add-member NoteProperty ConnectorType 'RGC' $conn | add-member NoteProperty ConnectorName $_.Name $conn | add-member NoteProperty MaxReceiveMessageSize $r $conn | add-member NoteProperty MaxSendMessageSize $r $connectors += $conn } get-foreignconnector | foreach { $r = $_.MaxMessageSize if ($r -isnot [object]) {$r = '-'} $conn = new-object PSObject $conn | add-member NoteProperty ConnectorType 'Foreign' $conn | add-member NoteProperty ConnectorName $_.Name $conn | add-member NoteProperty MaxReceiveMessageSize $r $conn | add-member NoteProperty MaxSendMessageSize $r $connectors += $conn } Get-ADSiteLink | foreach { $r = $_.MaxMessageSize if ($r -isnot [object]) {$r = '-'} $conn = new-object PSObject $conn | add-member NoteProperty ConnectorType 'ADSiteLink' $conn | add-member NoteProperty ConnectorName $_.Name $conn | add-member NoteProperty MaxReceiveMessageSize $r $conn | add-member NoteProperty MaxSendMessageSize $r $connectors += $conn } $dom = [System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Domain]::getcurrentdomain() $rootdn = $dom.forest.rootdomain.getdirectoryentry().distinguishedname $root = New-Object DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry "LDAP://cn=configuration,$rootdn" $searcher = New-Object DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher $searcher.filter = "(objectClass=msExchMessageDeliveryConfig)" $searcher.SearchScope = "Subtree" $searcher.SearchRoot = $root $md = $null $md = $searcher.findone() if ($md -is [object]) { $r = [string]($md.properties.delivcontlength[0]) $s = [string]($md.properties.submissioncontlength[0]) $conn = new-object PSObject $conn | add-member NoteProperty ConnectorType 'GlobalSettings' $conn | add-member NoteProperty ConnectorName $md.properties.name[0] $conn | add-member NoteProperty MaxReceiveMessageSize ($r+'KB') $conn | add-member NoteProperty MaxSendMessageSize ($s+'KB') $connectors += $conn } $connectors | ft -auto $connectors | export-csv MsgLimits.csv -notypeinfo -encoding ascii ############################################ --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Hi TarunArora, Rich gave some good information. Many configuration would affect the message size limits. Such as, global setting, connector setting, mailbox setting, owa setting.
