Exchange 2016 smtpreceive protocol log max file size

Brass Contributor

I recently installed/configured an exchange 2016 edge server where I configured the max file size to be 10MB.    <ReceiveProtocolLogMaxFileSize>.   What Im seeing is that a new log file is being created every hour.   Is this a known issue or is there another attribute that is overriding the max file size setting?

 

I made the setting within get-transportservice local on the edge server.

I think that is a bug? I cant find the switch to change that neither. Exch 2013 honored the max size and documentation indicates it should

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/mail-flow/connectors/protocol-logging?view=exchserver-2019

Information is written to the log file until the file reaches its maximum size.
