Exchange Server 2013 ignores attachment size setting for external outbound mail

Hi there, 

Hopefully somebody can help because I really can't see what's going on here. 

  • The maximum receive size is set to 100MB in all my receive connectors.
  • The maximum send size is set to unlimited in my send connector.
  • Mailboxes do not have any specific limits set
  • No mail rules are set up
  • I have no limits set anywhere else
  • I followed a post that suggested editing limits using ADSI editor here and the values were indeed set to 10MB. I changed it to 200MB, and rebooted the server

I can send attachments between Exchange accounts that are larger than 10MB, and I can also receive attachements from external addresses that are larger than 10MB. But whenever I try to send one externally, I get the following error:


This message wasn't delivered to anyone because it's too large. The limit is 9 MB. This message is 23 MB.
John Doe (john.doe@sky.com)
This message is larger than the size limit for messages. Please make it smaller and try sending it again.
The following organization rejected your message: mx1.domainremoved.com.

Remote Server returned '550 5.3.4 SMTPSEND.OverAdvertisedSize; message size exceeds fixed maximum size'
