I have 3 sites, 1 with the exchange2000 server and another two sites which get their mail automatically forwarded from the exchange server to a small mail server on each site. The problem i'm having is that the small mail servers are being choked up with large attachments that are being forwarded from exchange.

So my queston is this, is there any way to block e-mails coming in to exchange that are say over 10 MB in size?

Any help would be much apreciatted
 
You can restrict the size of the messages by restricting the msg size. This can be done by right clicking your connector and clicking on the content restrictions tab. There is a check box that will allow you to set the limit of the mail received.[afro]
 
If you're using smtp virtual servers to receive mail in the other sites you can configure the message size within the smtp virtual server properties - Messages.
