What is Reply All Storm Protection?
Reply All Storm Protection is a feature of Exchange Online that helps organizations protect their email infrastructure from the unintended consequences of large-scale email responses. This feature is enabled by default and prevents users from sending a large number of emails in response to a single message. The Reply All Storm Protection feature limits the number of recipients a user can add to a single email, and also limits the number of emails a user can send within a specific time period.
Why Should You Customize Reply All Storm Protection Settings?
Customizing the Reply All Storm Protection settings allows you to tailor the feature to best suit your organization’s needs. For example, if your organization frequently sends large emails with many recipients, you may want to increase the maximum number of recipients allowed per email. On the other hand, if your organization is concerned about the potential for spam messages to be sent, you may want to decrease the maximum number of emails allowed in a given time period.
