Our goal was to proactively find users hitting the limits.  Goal one would be 
to proactively help users hitting the limits to refine their  email sending 
processes Or....grant them an exception to the throttling. The other goal would 
be to possibly help determine if an account could possibly be compromised.

Thanks

Huh.

I've never seen a request like yours before.

Have you looked at PromoDag?

Subject: question about monitoring Exchange throttling.

Hi:

We've recently implemented throttling at various parts of our email system, 
adding a per user limit for a max number of recipients per message, a limit for 
number of emails per minute you can submit, and a max number of recipients per 
day that you can send to.

We can find out who is sending to the max recipients per message via the 
message tracking logs, but so far we haven't been able to determine how to find 
the users who are attempting to exceed the number of messages submitted per 
minute and the maximum daily limit of number of recipients.

To get an estimate of total recipients I've been doing a powershell query of 
the tracking logs, dumping all the mailbox totals, then doing some massaging of 
the data in Excel.   It gives you an idea of who might be hitting the recipient 
limit in 24 hours, but it would be nice if Exchange had a way to informing you. 
 I tried turning up logging on our test system to see if it would spit out an 
error when a limit was hit by a user, but either it doesn't or I'm turning the 
wrong dial.

How are others monitoring throttling?

Thanks

Kevin
