es1100 message size limits

pez

i'd like to configure my es1100 email appliance so that i can have different message size limitations for different users

i set: policy - filtering options and global message limit to the largest i'd accept (30M), and created under "additional policy" a rule that uses message attributes, message size > 12M, for all users except specific ones, to quarantine and continue

however when i test it, with a 16MB file, it just lets it through. is there any problems with my logic or common gotchas i'm missing?

    hi Jason,

    that did work fine, as you suggested.

    i do have another query though, when the email appliance rejects a message due to size, how much of the message is downloaded before it is rejected?

    i'm trying to work out if i should just have a global limit set in the ES1100, and then different limits for individual users in exchange

    if the email appliance is going to download the whole message anyway, then i might as well use exchange to differentiate between users allowed to have larger attachments, but if the appliance will only download whatever te global limit is before rejecting, or the amount set in the additional policy, then i'd prefer to use the appliance as that would limit wasted bandwidth

    regards
