Remove the MsgBox line and insert this instead:

bSend=False
MsgBox "Message here", vbOKOnly

A user attached a 1.2 GB movie to an email and attempted to send it.
Exchange choked on this and threw a 623 error.

On the Exchange backend I have a 150 MB max limit for messages. This
limitation works on emails exceeding that limit by dropping the
message and sending an NDR but it does not prevent the user from
physically
attaching a backup of their OS to a message and pushing the send button.

Is there a way to prevent a user from physically attaching a large file in
Outlook?
