BCC results in a separate message sent to each non-Exchange recipient. If a
single message were sent to all recipients at a domain, then each would know
about the others, defeating the purpose of BCC.

Sorry - I think I spoke too soon (it's a very lethargic and overcast Monday
here in SD). If more than 25 recipients were Hotmail addresses, BCC'ing
wouldn't fix your problem since all the Hotmail addresses would still be
sent using a single transmission.
I'm not that familiar with GFI yet - but I'm getting ready to prototype and
implement a Ex2k / GFI system for a smaller client. Have you considered
trying to use GFI's content scanning mechanism to identify and re-address
messages with large recipient lists? Does anyone know if there's a hook
like this available out of the box? Just a thought.

justification standpoints just don't get along.

announcements as necessary. This works great except for one thing:
messages sent to "All Students" always get an NDR with every Hotmail user
listed.

solutions?

automated.
