Hey Guys and Gals, Due to the increase of unsolicited e-mail over the past few weeks, members of my university community have gotten sick of receiving these unwanted messages. While my general reaction to users who want to know how to stop this type of spam is to use their Delete Key, create an Outlook Rule, ensure that they are not advertising their e-mail addresses in public forums i.e. newsgroups, the issue has escalated to the level of our CEO and University President. A mandate has come down to find a method that will limit such types of mail while allowing the majority of other e-mail to be delivered uninterrupted and without filtering on specific phrases in e-mail.
As I am sure we have all seen this before, I am actively searching the Archives for previous suggestions and have come across a few that are being investigated, however I have seen so far no mention of an ability to Filter messages based on the total number of message recipients, To+CC+BCC. While we may not be able to filter on content here, it has been suggested that if it were possible to stop messages with greater than X number of recipients then we may do so. Does anyone know if this is possible ? I know I can limit the total number of recipients in a Distribution List and for Outbound e-mail, but I do not know if it is possible for Inbound. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks much! -dan Daniel Foerst, MCP Network & Microsoft Exchange Administrator Center For Planning and Information Technology The Catholic University of America Washington, DC 20064 _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
