Can't Send an attachment over 10mb WHY!!??

The other day I was trying to send an attachment that was 12mb. I got an error 0x80040610.

My ReceiveConnector and SendConnector was set for Unlimited.

Where was the issue!!!

The issue was with my Active Directory! It seems there is a known issue with New and Upgraded installs of Exchange 2007.

Here are the Global Limits:
Active Directory
delivContLength
10240 KB for the following circumstances:

* Exchange 2007 was the first Exchange server installed in the organization.
* The organization was upgraded from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007, and the value of the global Incoming message size limit was set to No Limit.

If the organization was upgraded from Exchange 2003, and a specific value was set for Incoming message size, that value is preserved after the upgrade to Exchange 2007.
