The restriction on the dimensions of electronic messages, inclusive of attachments, within Microsoft’s cloud-based productivity suite impacts the transmission capabilities for users. For instance, a user attempting to dispatch a message exceeding the predetermined value will encounter a delivery failure, necessitating a reduction in file size or alternative transfer methods.
Adherence to message size constraints ensures system stability and prevents resource exhaustion on mail servers. Historically, imposing such thresholds has been crucial in mitigating the risk of denial-of-service attacks and optimizing the utilization of network bandwidth. These limitations safeguard the infrastructure and contribute to a consistent user experience across the platform.
