Hi
This is something we're trying to turn off! We'd like Blackboard users to
have the ability to email the people they're on a course with, but we do not
want any of our users to be able to email all students or all staff.
Somebody tried this the other day and it nearly took our mail servers out.
Blackboard very kindly chopped the list of users to send to, into groups of
around 100 users, but then sent all of these messages out at the same time!
For the time being until we can look into to fully we've had to turn email
off completely from within Blackboard.
