There are 3 predefined actions available for application to 3 configurable message size thresholds:
1.
You can set a global limit above which email should be discarded. By default this cannot exceed 50 MB. (This is applicable only to inbound email.)
 
* 
Note 
When an email is discarded because it exceeds the maximum allowable size, Forcepoint Email Security Cloud does not issue a notification (see Email notifications for more details). A failed delivery code is returned to the sending email server.
2.
You can quarantine email above a specified size.
3.
You can defer email above a specified size for delivery within a configurable time window. Deferral of large email is useful when you have Internet bandwidth capacity limitations and the user impact of delivering large email is noticeable during the main working day.
