Symptoms

When a Microsoft Entourage user tries to send an e-mail message that exceeds the size limit that is configured in Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Global Settings, the following symptoms may occur:
  • The e-mail message stays in the sender's Outbox.
  • The transaction log files on the computer that is running Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 quickly grow until you delete the message from the user's Outbox.
  • The user receives the following misleading error message when he or she tries to send the e-mail message the first time:
    An unknown error (-18493) has occurred. Your mailbox has exceeded the size limit. Account name: "Username"

Note The size limit is configured in the Message Delivery Properties box in Exchange Server 2003 Global Settings.

Cause
