Attachment limits sending and receiving???

[WT21]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: Exchange

I have Entourage talking with our back-end Exchange server for my company. This is NOT exchange 2007, so it's NOT using web services.

I seem to have a MB limit size on my new MBP with Entourage that I DON'T have with my old Dell running Outlook. It seems to be about 10MB attachments. This is both sending and receiving.

Is this typical? Can this be adjusted on the client, or does it have to be done via the server?

Entourage on the Mac is not officially supported by my company, so I am hoping it's an easy fix!

Entourage doesn't set limits so it has to be on the server.

Entourage doesn't set limits so it has to be on the server.

This could also be a problem with Mac OS X handling the connection. Some
folks have reported that going to Apple menu --> System Preferences...
--> Network --> <your active network connection> --> Advanced -->
Ethernet and Manually configuring the MTU to 1492 makes a difference.

Hope this helps!
