Harald,

I sent the first message just after registering with the group and didn't 
receive a copy of it. I thought it hadn't gone through, but thank you for your 
helpful response.

Thank you,

what exactly do you think get better if you send the same message with a 
changed subject to the same mailing-list two days later?

Betreff:        Attachments over 10MB Undeliverable

Hi all, new to the group. Have recently setup POSTFIX as an SMTP relay front 
end to an Exchange 2007 backend. Have encountered the following issue:

I'm using POSTFIX as an SMTP fronted relay to an Exchange 
<http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1663396&page=1> 2007 backend. The 
default size for attachments in POSTFIX is 10 MB. I've set that in the 
configuration file to be 20 MB. When I look at postconf -n it verifies that the 
limit is set to 20 MB, (message_size_limit = 20480000). I've stopped and 
restarted the postfix service, but messages are still bounced back to my 
Exchange server <http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1663396&page=1>
as undeliverable if they exceed 10 MB in size.) The bounce-back message users 
receive lists the Debian Linux / Postfix server as the server bouncing it back 
for exceeding size. Is there somewhere else this needs to be set?

The error message I get from exchange is:

This message exceeds the maximum message size allowed. Microsoft Exchange will 
not try to redeliver this message for you. Please make the message smaller -- 
by removing attachments, for example -- and try sending it again, or provide 
the following diagnostic text to your system administrator.

The following organization rejected your message: 
{POSTFIX_SERVER.OUR_DOMAIN.com.
