Batch User Fields 441
Notes
• This limit can also be set for individual users or for the organization as a
whole. Whichever limit is lower—the org limit or a user’s limit—applies for the
user. If a user’s limit is blank and a value is set for the org, the org value
applies to the user.
• When exceeded, incoming messages are bounced, returning a 554 Mailbox
limit exceeded . message to the sender.
• Setting a message limit is useful for protecting mail servers against malicious
attacks, such as email bombs.
• All messages are counted against this limit, including legitimate and
quarantined messages. The count is approximate, so it’s suggested only for
values over 100.
