One sender sending over 50 emails to one recipient

Okay, this is going to sound really dodgy, but I'm hoping to not bore everyone with the hows and whys. I'm hoping we can just focus on the question rather than questioning the setup. The setup is what it is and its going to stay.

I have a distribution list with over 50 internal mailboxes. All of these mailboxes have a forward to one single external address. So in other words, if I send an email to this distribution list, this will generate:

  • Over 50 identical emails
  • From 1 sender
  • To 1 external recipient 

Is there any property on the default send connectors or something that would block these emails on my Exchange server?

Again, I know it sounds really dodgy, but please only replies with answers to the question, not "helpful" comments asking why I have this setup.

Hi,

Your assumption is correct. There should be 50 forward emails. Unfortunately, there is no built-in mechanism to block such kind of scenario

My problem is that those emails are not actually reaching the recipient. Single emails do just fine when not using the distribution list.

The external party is amendment that their spam filters are not blocking the emails (which would make sense if they did) so assuming that's correct, then that only leaves my Exchange server really. 

Obviously my setup for this is highly unusual, not many people would ever have this problem and I'm still just wondering there is any chance some hidden property for max numbers of emails to 1 recipient could exist somewhere inside exchange?
