Office 365 tenant admins can now customize the Recipient Limits setting from 1 to 1000. Admins can make changes either via Remote PowerShell (RPS) or via the Exchange Admin Center (EAC). The full complement of customization capabilities is available via RPS, while a sub-set of those are available in the Exchange Admin Center.
