This should be an easy one...

I was testing the message size limits today and everythings works fine. I
was just wondering what log can I look through to see if a email tried to
come in and was rejected because of size limit.

Thanks for the quick response ... i thought I was loosing my mind; turns out
I am not.
So here is the deal. I sent a test from known outside address address with
an attachment this is too large, So I could find it in the logs.

I was trying to check both the agent log and the message traking log using
the senders address. and it was not showing up in the results.

So I figured there must be a different log i am not remembering.

I also tried the commands you have bellow and they do not find the email in
question --- the outside email address did recieve the NDR.

any thoughts?

Can you post the relevant portions of the NDR? (mask email addresses/names,
etc.)
Was the NDR generated by Exchange?
Is there an Edge Transport server in the topology?

If it's coming from outside it should be in the SmtpRecv log.

Bellow is the NDR that i recieved at the outside source

The email i am sending is from my exchane server @ home to our coporate
excahnge server.

the flow of mail into the corporate office is like this
1) primary mx record = exchange hosted service
2) cisco firewall
3) Exchange published via ISA 2006
4) ex2k7 transport server
5 ex2k7 mailbox server

A couple things I have noticed since looking into this.
- Not sure if I needed to or not but I set up a recieve connector to allow
our inside networks to relay message off the the excahgne server. I will
probably
change that.
- the isa server present its internal ip to the exchange server. and I
change it so that the ip address comes from original client mail stops
flowing.
- dont even see the message in the smtprecv log.

You won't see the "message", just the MAIL FROM command. That command
will include the size of the message.

Do you have a restriction on the size of a message that this user can
receive?

You'll need to raise the size limits on the Organization on your home
Exchange server.
The DSN is based on the MaxSendSize of the Org (applied to Anonymous... ).
