RE: All Staff Distribution Lists
Like others have posted, we locked down the group to a select few. We were seeing too many Replies to All when it wasnt warranted. Also, departing users telling EVERYONE goodbye.

RE: All Staff Distribution Lists
We lock ours down to authorised users and remove the permission when they're done. If you're getting the list abused then tell management something needs to be done about it. I've learned that management will do whatever they want regardless of what you say anyway :) From: bounce-8623110-8066...@lyris.sunbelt-software.com [mailto:bounce-8623110-8066...@lyris.sunbelt-software.com] On Behalf Of Scot Parsons Sent: 06 August 2009 15:39 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: All Staff Distribution Lists We have a growing problem with users sending non-business related emails to the all staff list.

RE: All Staff Distribution Lists
We are a school and restrict bases group membership for each division, ex. LS, MS, HS. Folks that abuse within the division are forwarded to the Dean of that division for action. Policy works well as long as the dean follow through on the policy, which does not always happen.

RE: All Staff Distribution Lists
We've got about 175 users but we handle it pretty much the same way as Ben described. However, I've been doing this back to 1996 when we put in MS Mail and I can't really remember when anybody ever abused the system.* *Well, I gotta take that back. When I was on vacation in FL back in 2000, one of the directors passed around the ILoveYou virus (unwittingly of course; he opened an email and boom-virus time).

It depends on how you define abuse. We've had the occasional My wife is walking for cancer/starting a business, I'll be on vacation tomorrow, etc. Depending on how obnoxious that stuff is, management takes action. Sometimes they let stuff slide because we're such a small company, and half the people know each other outside work anyway. Occasionally someone will forward an email chain letter about some bogus thing; that almost always draws someone's wrath. Especially the political rants. We haven't had any Here's a funny picture of a cat or There''s free donuts in the conference room that I can remember, which is kind of surprising, thinking about it. -- Ben

Yup - we stripped the ILoveYou virus but let the messages come through - got LOTS of help(less) desk calls from (obviously lonely) users complaining they couldn't open it.
