Not knowing the contents or reasons for everyone getting the files, I'll say this: I fight similar user temptations at our school (380 staff / 5000 students). I lose sometimes, but what I (also being the webmaster) encourage is that large files be posted on the FTP server and a link is emailed to everyone.
 
Also we have separate staff and student listservs (updated each night), so we don't have to worry if some office or dean has the latest list of students and staff and the BCC thing.
 
Sorry, I realize this is not a direct answer to the question of how can Declude help, but is how we address the problem - not perfectly, but as best we can.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] large mail to large number op recips

Hi,
 
We are a school and:
-  sometimes someone needs to send a large e-mail (20-30 MB) to one of the staf or students.
- several times a day we send e-mails to large groups of students so the BCC field might contain up to 1500 addresses.
 
Both items are no problem until they are combined like some tried today. :-( Suddenly I lost around 15GB of diskspace on my mailserver. At least that is what IMail tried because I only had about 10GB left on my mailbox drive. Guess what happened?
 
Is there a way using Declude Junkmail to flag this situation and stopping the e-mail while still allowing the two items above?
I'm currently using Declude 2.16, Junkmail Std and AV Pro.
 

Met vriendelijke groet,
