Re: MSMQ maximum message size
The maximum message size is still 4MB. Currently only MSMQT bypasses the 4MB limit, but this only works with BizTalk 2004, and there are other limitations with MSMQT as well. You can always chunk your data into smaller pieces in order to accomodate the 4MB limit.

Re: MSMQ maximum message size
Unfortunately MSMQ transport in WCF doesn't handle messages bigger than supported by MSMQ. The queued sessions also won't help, because the whole session has to fit into a single MSMQ message. Each instance of MSMQ on a server node maps 4 MB of the system view space when handling message activity.

Re: MSMQ maximum message size
Maximum message body size is 4MB (in serialized from). This results in a default limit of three active, working instances of MSMQ in a cluster node. In a server cluster with three MSMQ resources, a node could have four concurrent MSMQ services running the service running on the local node plus the three services associated with the MSMQ resources.
