Yes, you're correct[0], the limit is 5,000 by default in E2K. They've also completely fscked the way DL expansion is counted against those limits in E2K.
Q233376 But you'll be happy to know that according to MS the maximum number of recipients for SMTP mail is 2,000,000,000. You might be unhappy to know that Exchange 2000 developers chose to enable the minimum maximum for SMTP recipients as called for in the RFC by default, which at the very least is not in keeping with the spirit of RFC821.[1] Anyway... The default limit in E2K could be adjusted by administrators who care to, just as they could be set in the first place by administrators who care to in 5.5, but the same 95% of admins are still clueless.
