Any way to restrict bulk sending abilities of employees to recipients within our organizations?

My COO just asked a question, after an employee sent a farewell email to all employees (all 53) by using an "everyone" distribution list in our exchange 5.5 directory. His question (and now mine) is, is there a way to regulate emails sent internally? The concern is, if this employee had sent a malicious email (instead of the pleasant one) would there be any way to regulate it? I know it is a difficult question, with probably no real solution, but I thought I would ask.

You can specify the maximum number of recepients a user can send a mail to. Secondly you can control who can send mails to a distribution list.

Thanks for the response, but can I ask it a different way?

If there any way to "approve" a message before it is distributed? In other words, before a message is sent to dist list "everyone", the message is sent to an "approver" who must approve it before it is sent out?

Thanks

Exchange Workflow is for 2000 and 2003, not 5.5 I see.

So I am getting that there is no solution for 5.5 (other then an upgrade)?
