I am trying to set a limit to the number of recipients that can be included

Limit set under Message Delivery, Global Settings counted each Exchange group
as a single recipient regardless of the number of members in the list.
However, the total number of members in personal distribution lists created
in Outlook was used.

That was true in Exchange 5.5.

This does not seem to be the way it's working. I have limited permissions
to send to our various corporate distribution lists, or groups, and set a
Message Delivery Recipient Limit less than the number of members in some of
those groups. However, when someone with proper group permissions tries to
send to a list that contains more members than the Recipient Limit, the
message gets bounced stating that they are trying to send to more recipients
than allowed.



Am I missing something. I really don't want to have to deal with managing
special recipient limits at the user level.

The global settings will look at the total number in the To+Cc+Bcc and
apply/enforce limtis accordingly. You can circumvent this by using
server based DLs the way you could in 5.5


Any help would be appreciated.
