I used to be in your shoes, and every time a user sent junk to a DL I would address the issue with them. No longer. I came to the realization that (A.) they weren't listening to me and (B.) I'm not their boss, anyway. It's an issue that their supervisors need to deal with-not IT.
John Hornbuckle MIS Department Taylor County School District 318 North Clark Street Perry, FL 32347 www.taylor.k12.fl.us<http://www.taylor.k12.fl.us> From: James Rankin [mailto:kz2...@googlemail.com] Sent: Monday, July 13, 2009 10:07 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Distribution lists Afternoon Exchange gurus Is it possible to have the "All Staff" distribution list (or any other, really) set up so that when an email is sent to it, it goes to an administrator for approval first? I am sick of getting emails that say "there is a salesman selling cards in reception" and when someone spammed the DL with a hoax that was well-documented on snopes.com<http://snopes.com>, I ended up getting a reprimand from my boss about being harsh to users. I only threatened to remove her ability to send to the DL. Sheesh. I know that we shouldn't give all users the ability to send to it, but I doubt I am going to shift my boss's boss's stance on this one. Any other pointers would be also gratefully received, I am not much of an Exchange bod.
