Hello, Is it possible to limit the number of contacts each person puts in their personal mailing lists when the person is composing an email? I need to prevent one user can send one email to 1000 people, for example.
Subject: Limit of recipient list
There is no setting as such - the only thing you could do is write a bit of lotusscript to run just as the memo is being sent to check the number of recipients, and prevent the user continuing if too many. This would mean changing the mail template though…

Domino 6’s server based mail rules can easily help you with this. In your server’s configuration document go to Router/SMTP – Restrictions and Controls – Rules
There you can specific the condition as “recipient count” and assign a value, than choose an action such as don’t deliver, or perhaps move to low priority so the mass email is delivered late at night, or my favourite, move to database. Using move to database you could have this email sent to a discussion DB, than have an agent in the discussion DB that sends users a link to the stored document, thus teaching them the value of discussion DBs vs. email. (plus the document will only be stored once)
