Subject: RE: Send to no more than 25 at a time...
The students like it because they don't have to remember to check two
accounts, the staff like it because students actually read their
messages, the bloodsuckers ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Alumni/Development Office
likes it because we get an address that will work after they leave the
school and I like it because Yahoo, Hotmail, etc. take care of storing
all of their .MP3's and pornography :-)
Does anyone know if my idea of setting up "Hotmail User Group #x" is
going to make any difference in how exchange chooses to send the message
to Hotmail? If this will work, then I will just update the ISAPI dll to
assign them randomly to one of these groups and be done with it.
Thanks for all of the responses and suggestions so far!
Greg

Can anyone in your org address the "All Students" DL? If it's just for
administrative staff you could try training them to address this list in
the BCC: field so the address info would not be sent along with the
message.
I agree with another post on this topic - I think you've gone too far to
try and make your solution flexible for the student's benefit.
Sometimes you need to draw the line - but as we all know (I've been
reprimanded for arguing the point) sometimes technical justification and
business justification standpoints just don't get along.

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.

ideas? Other solutions?
