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?

regard

    Hi Andrew,

    The message size determined from the global level is determined by the MTA in this case Postfix.  The appliance policy rules are after the message has been received from Postfix into our filtering software.  If you have varying size limits for specific users, then you would want to se the max size at the MTA level and have the appliance software determine for each user/group what is allowable.

    You cannot at the MTA level specify what user/group is allowed as message size, it is system wide on reciept of the message.
