LuxSci has just increased the maximum supported email message size to 200 Megabytes (from the previous limit of 100 Megabytes).  This 200MB message size limits is significantly larger than any other email competitive email provider and ensures that you can receive messages sent from any sender and that you can send very large files between users of LuxSci without problems.

This 200 Megabyte limits includes:

• Receipt of email up to 200 MB in encoded size
• Sending messages via SMTP (i.e. from Outlook) up to 200 MB in encoded size
• Inbound Premium Email Filtering for messages up to 200MB in encoded size

LuxSci has increased the maximum size of a message that can be sent from WebMail from 50 megabytes to 70 megabytes.  This refers to the raw size of the message content plus all attachments.

The encoded maximum size of message that can be sent or received via SMTP remains at 100 megabytes; however, this can be increased for customers with dedicated servers.

WebMail does not have any limit on the number of attachments, just on the overall size of attachments.  WebMail supports receipt and viewing of messages that are up to 200MB in total (encoded) size.

LuxSci provides very generous limits on the maximum message size that can be sent — 200 MB for SMTP and 70 MB for WebMail.  However, some clients have a business need to restrict the maximum size of a message that they can send and receive to something much smaller.

It is straight forward to bounce inbound messages that are “too big” with a custom filter and send a custom bounce message.  However,  the filter has to be configured on a per-user basis, and doesn’t restrict outbound messages sizes.

LuxSci has increased the maximum size of a message that can be sent from WebMail from 29 megabytes to 50 megabytes.  This refers to the raw size of the message content plus all attachments.  The size increase follows on the heels of our increase in the limit of the maximum encoded message size sendable through SMTP from an email program from 50 megabytes to 100 megabytes last week.

WebMail does not have any limit on the number of attachments, just on the overall size of attachments.  WebMail supports receipt and viewing of messages that are up to 200MB in total (encoded) size.

In the near future, LuxSci will be releasing some tools that make it easy for users to upload and download many files at once in bulk to and from WebMail and WebAides.  Stay tuned!
