Hi all,

I use smtp.ntlworld.com to smarthost my outgoing Exchange server mail. When I set it up, the ntlworld system was still a legacy system with attachment limits of 10MB. I've done a bit of googling and Virginmedia say their email customers can send upto 20MB.

With this in mind, I tried sending a 13MB zip file to one of my GMail addresses and it failed.

This is not an Exchange issue as I have the sending limit disabled to prevent issues such as the abiove being caused by the server itself.

Does this mean the smtp.ntlworld.com SMTP address is still locked to 10MB attachments? Can I use smtp.virginmedia.com now and make use of the 20MB limit?

I am Ex-NTL if that makes any difference.

Many thanks,

Karl
