SUMMARY
This article describes how to modify global, or organization-wide, settings in Exchange System Manager. The following most common administrative tasks are discussed:
 * Setting delivery restrictions
 * Creating a message filter list
 * Allowing or preventing out-of-office replies to the Internet
 * Allowing or preventing Rich Text Formatting in messages
 * Allowing or preventing sending display names to the Internet



Setting Delivery Restrictions
To set delivery restrictions for the entire organization:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.
 * 2) Expand the Global Settings container in the left pane, right-click Message Delivery, and then click Properties. To expand a container, double-click the container or click the plus sign (+) to the left of the container.
 * 3) Click the Defaults tab, and then modify the desired settings.
 * 4) * To limit the size of outgoing messages, click Maximum (KB) under Outgoing message size, and then type a value in the box next to it. To remove all limitations on the size of outgoing messages, click No limit under Outgoing message size.
 * 5) * To limit the size of incoming messages, click Maximum (KB) under Incoming message size, and then type a value in the box next to it. To remove all limitations on the size of incoming messages, click No limit under Incoming message size.
 * 6) * To limit the number of recipients for a single message, click Maximum (recipients) under Recipient limits, and then type a value in the box next to it. To remove all limitations on the number of recipients, click No limit under Recipient limits.
 * 7) Click OK.

Creating a Message Filter List
The message filter list is a list of addresses or address spaces. Senders on this list cannot send messages to specific Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in your organization. This list applies to all IP addresses configured on every Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) virtual server in your organization. You can have more than one IP address associated with an SMTP virtual server. Message filtering can be enabled for some IP addresses and not others.

To create a message filter list for the entire organization:  Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager. Expand the Global Settings container in the left pane, right-click Message Delivery, and then click Properties. To expand a container, double-click the container or click the plus sign (+) to the left of the container. Click the Filtering tab. Click Add, type the name of the sender whose messages you want to filter in the Recipient box, and then click OK. Note that you must type the either sender's display name enclosed in quotation marks (&quot;) or the sender's SMTP address in the following format:

@ .com

If you type the sender's SMTP address, you can use the asterisk (*) wildcard character to specify a group of senders. For example:  *@ .com  @*. .com *@*. .com</li></ul> </li> Repeat step 4 for each sender whose messages you want to filter.</li> If you want filtered messages to be moved to the Exchsrvr\Mailroot\ \Filter folder, where  is the SMTP virtual server for which the message is filtered, click to select the Archive filtered messages check box. Note that this folder is automatically created when the first message is filtered. If this check box is not selected, filtered messages are deleted instead of being moved to this folder.</li></ol>

NOTE: After you create a message filter list for the entire organization, you must enable message filtering on an SMTP virtual server. If you create a message filter list and a message that meets the criteria you specified is sent to the server, the message is not filtered unless message filtering has been enabled for a particular IP address that is bound to an SMTP virtual server.

Allowing or Preventing Rich Text Formatting in Messages

 * 1) Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.
 * 2) Expand the Global Settings container in the left pane, click Internet Message Formats, right-click the Default object or another object associated with a different domain in the right pane, and then click Properties. To expand a container, double-click the container or click the plus sign (+) to the left of the container.
 * 3) Click the Advanced tab.
 * 4) Under Exchange rich-text format, click the setting that you want, and then click OK.
