i've made two rules:

 1. if size < 10MB than deliver (forward) to recipient

2. if size > 10MB than delete message

 and it works! :)

 thank you for your patience and help.

Hello,

 I have a problem with setting correctly working general rule which will check  the size of the message.

I have made rule type=size and content=larger than 10000000 (10MB) action=delete.

I have made alias for presaved rule like this: login@domain.com real name: filter:c:\mercury\my_rule_name.rul.

This rule doesn't make sense because none of the sent test e-mails have arrived.

What can be a problem?

And what action do you expect the rule to perform if the message is under the size limit?

if message < 10 000 000 than deliver it to recipient

something like that...

so... i must make rule which will describe action in case message < 10MB?

and what action should have this rule? forward, or something?

As the message has been taken out of the ordinary message flow by the alias you would need a move action to actually deliver it somewhere. The problem is that at this point you can't be sure if it's a To or Cc recipient that the message was intended for, unless these message always just have a To recipient. Bcc information is not available at all here.

Perhaps it would be a better alternative to use a global rule (with logical AND to check both To and size) here instead? If message size is not exceeded then the message would be delivered normally.
