Check: Exch-1-301
Exchange 2010 Mailbox Server STIG:
Exch-1-301
(in versions v1 r10 through v1 r9)
Title
Mail quota settings must not restrict receiving mail. (Cat III impact)
Discussion
Mail quota settings control the maximum sizes of a user’s mailbox and the system’s response if these limits are exceeded. Mailbox data that is not monitored against a quota increases the risk of mail loss due to filled disk space, which can also render the system unavailable. Failure to allow mail receipt may impede users from receiving mission critical data.
