message size - Microsoft Exchange

Hi Rob,

Are these outbound messages to the internet? If so, it could be limitations
that are set on the receiving server that are causing the error.

Here is an article that goes through all the places you can set limits for
sending mail. If you do not have any limits set on anything in the article,
and you can send to yourself above 10 MB, it may be the receiving server.

322679 Set Size Limits for Messages
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=322679

You can try telnetting to the receiving server on port 25. When you type
the EHLO command, it should return verbs, one will indicate a limit.

If you have any questions, just let me know.

Best Regards,
Beth
