Dear Exchange Guru�s and Goddesses:
Q: Is there a way to get Exchange to limit the number of recipients per message for a
specific remote domain? More specifically, break a message with more than x number of
recipients into multiple messages. If so, how?
Explanation: This year, I allowed students to choose whether to use their own email
address (mail enabled account) or an account on our system (mailbox enabled account).
All students, regardless of their choice of accounts, are added to the �All Students�
group, allowing the staff to send announcements as necessary. This works great except
for one thing: messages sent to "All Students" always get an NDR with every Hotmail
user listed.
So, I ask Hotmail support why that might be happening and this is their reply: "I
understand how inconvenient it is on your part but I would like to inform you that we
have only a limit of 25 recipients per messages."
Great. If you try to include more than 25 Hotmail recipients in a single message,
Hotmail will reject the entire message. So, I need a way to have Exchange break up
the message into multiple messages with only 25 recipients per each when addressed to
a Hotmail address. Any ideas? Other solutions?
My only idea at this time is to create several "Hotmail Users #x" type groups, and
then assign up to 25 Hotmail users per group to each of these groups, and add these
groups to the All Students group. This is way more hands-on than I want to get on
this; the rest of the process is completely automated.
If I am to be FAQ'ed here, please point to a specific page. I have searched the FAQ,
Slipstick, groups.google.com, northernlight.com, etc. and have found nothing that
relates to this problem.
Thank you,
Greg
