Re: Setting Recipient Limits On Exchange 2003 & Group Lists

That would work in Exchange 5.5 but not Exchange 200x because of the way
groups are expanded. Before a group counted as one recipient, now each
group member counts as a recipient. The only way around this would be to
have a list server that runs outside Exchange, as long as it'll send a
separate message to each recipient or some such.

I want to be able to set global recipient limits (say 25) and use
distribution lists that contain more members than the global recipient
limits
(say 250). The lists will be configured to accept messages from only
selected people. Those people will vary from list to list, but there
could
be hundreds of people. I would like to allow those people to send to the
lists that contain more members than allowed by the global recipient limit
without having to configure the recipient limit setting at the necessary
value (say 250) for each person with permissions to send to the list.
Exchange 5.5 counted the list with 250 members as 1 instead of 250 like
2003
does. With 5.5 I didn't have to worry about the individual settings
because
as long as the total number of lists and individual addresses was less
than
the global recipient limit the message was sent. I didn't have to worry
about everyone sending to the large lists because only those that needed
to
were given permissions to do so.

I appreciate your patience in working with me on this.

Maybe I'm not understanding something, but if I want to impose global
recipient limits won't I still have to make sure that each individual
member
of the authorized senders group has recipient limits set to over-ride
the
global limits? I haven't found a way to set recipient limits to a
group
that
affects the settings of all of the group members. As soon as anyone
sends
trys to send to the large group, their message will get bounced unless
their
individual recipient limits setting allows it, correct?

Delivery restrictions.

For most "collaborative" groups, make them mail-enabled security
groups
and
restrict delivery to the group itself.

For "large" groups, create another mail-enabled security group with
the
authorized senders and restrict delivery of the "large" group to the
authorized senders group.

Any suggestions on the best way to let various people send to large
server
based lists and prevent others. I don't understand why Microsoft
moved
away
from the 5.5 way server based lists were counted towards recipient
numbers
(each list counts as 1), and client based lists being expanded and
counted
as
the number of members. It seems so simple to be able to place send
permission limits on the server lists and not worry about how many
members
they contain. To me that's one of the main reasons the send
permissions
are
available. One of their primary uses would be to prevent
unauthorized
users
from sending to large numbers of recipients.

So again, what is the recommended way to allow selected individuals
to
send
to lists with large memberships, but preventing others. Is the only
way
to
change the recipient limit on each mailbox that has permissions to
send
to
large server based lists?? People with these permissions are
constantly
changing! Could anyone point me to a script that would apply the
limit
changes to a list of mailboxes contained in a file?

After making the changes, how am I able to easily tell who has the
non-default recipient limits?

Thanks for the help.

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

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

"cant" circumvent this.



Any help would be appreciated.
