Number of attachments

[Eric Graham]

Outlook 2003, get the message "The message being sent exceeds the message
size limit established for this user." There were eight attachments, I was
able to send four at a time. I checked my exchange server and the eight was
under the KB limit for sending. Any ideas?

Was the message an Outlook message or was it a bounce-back message from the
receipient's ISP? If the latter, there's nothing you can do about it, since
it's a limit set on the receiving end.

How far under? Outlook is constructing a MIME-encoded message. Attachments
can expand to more than twice their binary size when MIME-encoded.

I upped the user to a gig limit for sending, the total on the attachments
were less than 2MB. Also I haven't mentioned this but we are using Exchange
2000
