If someone tries to send a Zip file to a @uabmc address it may get a message that uses the phrase “Message Size Violation”
That is basically a generic message to mean that the attachment failed at least one test.
Circumstances that might get this (even if the total attachment size is less than the limit) would be:
- If too many files in Zip attachment (over 250).
- If too many levels of folders in Zip attachment (over 40).
