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.
