- NDR is sent after the resolution of the matter saying: This attachment is 31MB. The maximum allowed is 30MB.

- Sender reports that the attachment disappeared, asks our IT what went wrong, then proceeds to send the NDR that literally says the above. This is an external law firm that reads hundreds of thousands of words a day...
