Remarks

Notification Services will generate multiple messages if necessary so that all recipients receive a notification. For example, if 45 people should receive the notification, and the MulticastRecipientLimit value is 10, Notification Services will generate five messages, with each being sent to a subset of the recipient list.

Example

The following example shows how to specify that each multicast is limited to 10 subscribers.

<MulticastRecipientLimit>10</MulticastRecipientLimit>
