Dear sir/miss ,

My company is using the exchange 2000 server , and some users are using of
microsoft outlook , some users are using of outlook express.
I had set the in & out sized quota for each users (10Mb in & 10Mb out
).
But there have a very big problem of that , each time when a outlook express
user whom sent out a oversized email (may be 100Mb),
our email server must be crashed down ( all outlook express users can't sent
out & receive of emails , but the microsoft outlook's ok).

We need to reboot the server & find out whom had sent out such a very big
email & delete it from a microsoft outlook workstation, else , when the
use use outlook express again , the email server could be crashed down again
& again.

Why ? Could any person tell me how to block such users to send our a very
big oversized email send out by outlook express or how to fix this big
problem ? Thanks so much !
