Hi,

> ...would that prevent an email sent to that alias from going out?
As far as I know... yes.

I have the same problem. We sometimes send mails to all of our students in one 
mail, that's over a THOUSAND recipients. Also we run a mailing list on our 
sever. Clearly I cannot use that directive. 

Besides that.... where is the added security in lowering the number of 
recipients per message? Spammers know not to use large batches, the number of 
recipients they use will probably be lower than what is configured on most 
servers.

  On Imail 2006.1, we've presently got our domain properties to a "default 
maximum message" count of 0 (infinity).  I have a tech who wants to change this 
value to a lower number, as a preventative measure.

  But we have an alias that sends an email to "everyone in the company", which 
at present includes 200 names.  If we set the "Default Maximum Messages" to 
100, would that prevent an email sent to that alias from going out?

  thanks,
  Eric
