32K Storage Limit for Server-Side Rules Lifted in E12

In all Exchange versions since version 5.0 you can create up to 75 rules using the Outlook Rules Wizard and the Out of Office Assistant. The numbers of rules you can create may vary according to the size of each rule. Rules grow larger if you have a lot of recipients in them, for example.

While this is enough for the majority of users, some developers and a few users would require more space to implement complex routing and e-mail filing mechanisms.

KB Article 241325 explains this limitation

However, the Microsoft Exchange team now promises that this will change with E12, the next version of Exchange. An Exchange admin would be able to change the limit. There will be some tradeoff in performance for increasing the limit beyond a certain level so Microsoft has yet to determine what the default for this setting.
