I tried to send a PSD file from a client’s PC to my Exchange mailbox using my Gmail account and its 20 MB attachment size ability. Shortly after i sent the message and attachment I received a 5.2.3 error message which indicated the attachment was too large. WTF! We can’t have free email services provide larger attachment capability than our Exchange server.

Here’s how I increased the attachment size limit:



Use the Exchange System Manager and right click Message Delivery. Click the default tab and set the size limits.

I had a user leave me this message:

I have lost my Internet!

When I checked this XP system out, sure enough, Internet Explorer 7 was gone from the Start Menu and the Program Files\Internet Explorer directory.

After poking around it appears that Sunbelt’s Vipre beta had quarantined iexplore.exe.

This occurred after a “Microsoft Patch Tuesday” so I’m guessing Vipre may have detected a change in iexplore.exe and notified the user who decided to quarantine the new file.

Moral of the story: You can lose the Internet and if you do, check your AV/AS quarantine.
