Derlivery limits and Automation

[wakubi]

In Exchange 5.5, is it possible to change all the (or a select group of) users Mailbox Derlivery Limits automatically.
I wish to add email size limitations on several hundred users email and I would rather not have to do it individually.
I have found a way of adding the limitations onto the distribution lists, but this only has an effect if the sender sends to that distribution list address. If the sender sends to an individual address it has no effect.

Im sure there has to be an easier way.

In fact while we are here, is there a way of making changes that effect everyone, or a group of people. I ask this because I was trying to find a way of letting a select group of users view everyone elses calendar. What I eventually did was to make a distribution list called 'Calendar' and added the selected users to it. I then pain-stakingly went though every users Outlook2000-Calendar-Properties and added 'Calendar' with read permissions.
All the time thinking that there must be an easier way.

Does anyone know it?

Thanks in advance,

If you go to Exchange Admin and select the server name in servers and choose properties you can modify the server wide prohibit send or prohibit send and receive...

To view everyone else's calendar, create a distribution list and change the properties you find in the middle window in the permissions tab of the same page.

Everything you want to do in Exchange 5.5 is possible and easy to do - if you think it is long winded, you are doing it wrong!

If I got the Servers Properties I get 2 tabs. General and Permissions. The permission tab allows me to add User and set their 'roles'. Excuse my lack of knowledge, but then what?
Im thinking i must be in the wrong place.

"To view everyone else's calendar, create a distribution list and change the properties you find in the middle window in the permissions tab of the same page."

I have created a distribution list. The properties on the permissions tab is similar to that of the server properties. I can add users and give them roles.
I dont see how giving a user a role, for example "search" will allow that user access to certain areas of certain users mailboxes.
ie
If I gave user:JBloggs 'admin' role to the distribution listrivate, then how does this allow JBloggs to see (and only see) the calendars of another group of users (and only this group)?

I have found a way of doing it manually and I have found a way of restricting all inbound and outbound email size on the server to the internet.
But as I said and you have said, Im sure im doing it wrong.
I just wanted to know where im going wrong.

Thanks inadvance again.
