Now do your users spell shit right in these messages? Every last one of them had a typo today. One of them they even botched the subject - Pruchasing Newsletter. Yesterday or two days ago I forget the Pruchasing department had to send two blast messages, you see they forgot the time & date in message #1.

I share your pain, Brian. Yeah.... Gotta love those 'Send to ALL' DLs - and the obvious misuse of same. "Black bronco in the north parking lot, second level - your lights are on" Ummm, which city/site? I only have 50 of them..... And, I'm guessing the sender knows where he/she is. So, why send to the ENTIRE COMPANY? I could almost understand using the ALL DL for that site. And (I'm really kinda heartless, so excuse this, please) people who leave their lights on need to be reminded that it's their problem - so who cares? OK - apparently I'm cranky at 1AM.... :oD Rick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Desmond Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 11:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Exchange Mailbox Limits And then I have this problem. We have CO All (2500 mailboxes) and CPS ALL (60K mailboxes). Today the dumbasses with access to these DLs sent: 1x5K - CPS ALL 1x15K - CO ALL 1x270K - CO ALL (two fricken attachments) 1x9K - CO ALL Now times all that out assuming SIS works perfectly by oh I think 260ish mailstores. Our quotas for teachers (like 50K of them): 60/70/80 and central office employees - 250/400/450.

I think execs get 50-80MB. I had heard a few people complain that some HTML messages are several MB so it doesn't take but an hour or so for 20MB to get filled up. The response from the folks doing the mailbox quota support was... Stop using HTML for messages. Unless you knew someone who could yell at someone, chances are slim you will get an increase from 20MB. Once Exchange quotas got stored in my AD my quota mysteriously went to 80MB, we could never figure out what the misfire was in the system... I told them I would look into it and get back to them. Seriously though, if you think about it, 20MB for 200K users is a lot of space, no matter how cheap the disk and you have to consider deleted items retention and backup space to go back say 30,60,90 or even more days on top of all of that. You can go quite a ways with 20MB of plain text messages. You don't really often needs graphics and pretty fonts to communicate with folks. I can see companies making judgements along those lines. Especially as more and more reports come out about how email and instant messaging is probably starting to hurt productivity more than help. I have heard of a couple of companies backing away from the email world and seeing tremendous productivity gains and better customer service. joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 11:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Exchange Mailbox Limits This is NOT personal, but let me say that your limits are overly restrictive and counter-productive as far as fostering good relationship with your end-users is concerned. In this day and age (html email and all), 25MB is nothing, especially when you consider the fact that hard drive costs are exponentially less than what they used to be 2-3 years ago. That is all my opinion and, again, it's not meant to knock you in a personal way.

We are stingy with our mailbox limits because the more we give our users the more they abuse it. We limit most 'regular' users to 8MB with a warning at 7MB. When they reach 8MB they can't send. If a regular user's mailbox gets to 15MB then we disable it. This forces the user to do something - either call the Help Desk or clean out their mail. Directors and chiefs and commissioners and such are generally given much higher limits. We start at 25MB and then increase by 10MB if necessary. We do have a handful of users who have no limits whatsoever and their mailboxes are out of control. We are in the process of migrating to Exchange2003 and implementing mailbox manager.
