Exchange 2003 - stopping mass emails ???

[Snow-Munki]

Hi,

Over the xmas holidays one of the users used a rule instead of using the Out of Office within Outlook.

Now coincidently, the person at the other end must have had a similar rule setup. Therefore over the weekend it almost bought down the Exchange server when the emails went back and forth, believe there was over 10,000 emails in a few hours.

Is there any way to stop this happening in future, an Exchange option ?

Thanks,

a shoe around the back of the head would be my first suggestion..

Not sure if there is much you can do to prevent this other than educate (yes, I know ) users we had a similar issue 3-4years ago
