Re-setting global message size

I have a few users stuck on my old Exchange 2000 server until I can work out
some Blackberry glitches with the new Exchange 2007 Sp1 server. The size
limit for a message was 5MB on the old server and is 10 MB on the new server.
One file that must be sent everyday is apparently right on the edge of the
5MB limit. When the file is mailed to people on the old server, they receive
it, but people on the new server do not and the sender gets a sys admin
message that the file is too big. Yesterday I went into global
settings/message delivery and set the defaults to no limits. This morning we
tested and the file still did not go through. Do I need to change something
else? Do I need to reboot the old server? Any help appreciated.

any limits on connectors or on individual mailboxes? if you trace the
message, how far does it get? the NDR might tell you where the limitation
is set...

Good thinking! I traced the problem down to the transport settings on the
2007 Exchange server where most of the recipients are. While in general the
message size was set to 10MB on the 2007 one, the transport was limited to
5MB.

Thanks for your suggestions.
