Check Text

Review the EDSP or document that contains this information. Determine the global maximum message receive size and whether signoff with risk acceptance is documented for the Receive connector to have a different value. Open the Exchange Management Shell and enter the following command: Get-ReceiveConnector | Select Name, Identity, MaxMessageSize Identify Internet-facing connectors. For each Receive connector, if the value of "MaxMessageSize" is not the same as the global value, this is a finding. or If "MaxMessageSize" is set to a numeric value different from the global value and has signoff and risk acceptance in the EDSP, this is not a finding.

Fix Text

Update the EDSP to specify the global maximum message receive size and, if operationally necessary, to document signoff with risk acceptance for the Receive connector to have a different value, or verify that this information is documented by the organization. Open the Exchange Management Shell and enter the following command: Set-ReceiveConnector -Identity <'IdentityName'> -MaxMessageSize <'MaxReceiveSize'> Note: The <IdentityName> and <MaxReceiveSize> values must be in single quotes. or Enter the value as identified by the EDSP that has obtained a signoff with risk acceptance. Repeat the procedure for each Receive connector.
