Personally, I wouldn't do a thing, other than tell the students to either
get a real email address or to take up the offer of the mailbox enabled
account.

>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,
