From: Ed Crowley [MVP] on 26 Feb 2010 20:31 It is not my experience that "most companies" have a 10MB limit. Microsoft does, but that number is hardly uniform.

My experience is > that limits are all over the place. 10MB is paltry these days. I'd approach it another way. Make a cost analysis of storage, backup and required server upgrades to support the emailing of such attachments. Then either impose quotas or spend the money and upgrade. It's not I.T.'s role to impose limits. It is our role to present cost/benifit analysis to different scenarios and implement them. |
