Management at my company has decided they want to stop users from sending email to the entire organization unless authorized. Does anyone have a way to allow users to send to multiple groups or users and limit others? I tested using the Global Recipient Limit, but Exchange 2003 counts each user in the Distribution lists rather than treating it as 1 address. I thought the best way to handle it was to set a top limit of say 50 and then restrict general users to only send to their department distribution lists. I think moving to Exchange 2007 is an extreme solution for this process (Since I am told 2007 does treat the DLs as a single address (unless expanded). Does anyone have a solution to this dilemma? Thanks!

We are running into the same dilema, especially with the Reply to all where someone who is a memeber of a DL cannot reply to all if the DL is larger than recipient limits we put in place. unless you know of a way around this? Somone mentioned to me they use List Servers such that they dont have to worry about that. Lysis dot com i think was what they recommended.

* Only one option to set Recipient Limit per email. (Exchange System Manager - Global Settings - Message Delivery - Defaults - Recipient Limits).* If you set this value to 5; all Exchange users will not be able to send email to more than 5 Recipients.* If you want to give access tosome users to send email to 5000 Recipients; go individually to their AD account properties - Exchange General - Delivery Options - Recipient Limits & specify maximum Recipient Limits. I dont see anyotherbetter way to implement this.
