Title: RE: Distribution List Limit

I'm not aware of a way to limit dl membership within Outlook, but in Exchange 5.5 you can restrict the # of recipients per message using a registry setting (on each Exchange server) as outlined in Q126497.

    http://support.microsoft.com/directory/article.asp?ID=KB;EN-US;Q126497&

 

The article states (and experience has proven) that this registry entry only affects e-mails from individuals, and doesn't limit large corporate dls on the server.     Not sure how/if this restriction is available in Exch2000.

Ok, so this applies to user created DL's in Outlook 2K and has nothing to do with DL's that are created on the Exchange server that show up in the GAL.  And my next question is:  Is there a way to prevent the user on Outlook 2K/XP from creating large DL's over say 50 names?  Just curious.

I have Exchange 5.5 sp3, and our "Company.all" distribution list currently has 206 members.  What gives, or am I missing something?

Yes. That is true. I can never remember the exact number, but there is the limit.

"Exchange Server 5.5 has a limit of 160 contacts in a distribution list. You can side-step the limit by splitting your lists."

Is this true ?  I never made a list above 100 in 5.5 .. Is this also the case in Exchange 2000 ?
