   "Global size limit of the server" is poorly-worded.  I think that what   
   they mean is that the server is configured so that each mailbox can only   
   contain a certain number of megabytes of storage, and the mailbox in   
   question is so full that even a small message puts it over that limit.   
   Chances are that you received a lot of spam today.  If spam messages are   
   set aside into a folder for you to double-check, they probably count   
   against the total size limit.
