Is there a way to limit the amount of email addresses that a user can send to via group policy?

Looking for something that will limit it to around 5 addresses that the user can send to. I know I can limit it to just 1 email address that a user can send to.

What mail server software are you using?

exchange

Are you looking to limit both internal and external email addresses, or just external addresses?

 

[imported_ALien]

mainly internal

well if there is an easier way of doing it besides group policy, im open to suggestions. It just has to go to certain groups or users, not everyone

and thanks for the link, much apperciated.

not group policy, but per-user:
active directory users and computers>user account>properties>exchange general>delivery options>maximum recepients

Is this what you're looking for?

I've never used this setting so I'm not 100% certain it will effect internal mail; I suggest testing it before deploying into production.

I'm looking for something like that, but an easier way to deploy that (like through Group Policies).

I dont think that there would be a way to apply the setting that I posted via a GPO since it's an attribute on their account.

You could however have a script that alters this setting on user accounts based on OU or group membership; it would need to be run on the administrative side (as opposed to the client side).
