Maximum Recipients When Sending From a Distribution Group Address

We have the maximum number of recipients set to 30 to discourage spamming but we sometimes make exceptions for higher profile users. This usually works no problem to bypass the 30 recipient restriction on a per user basis but we recently ran into a situation where a user needed to send as a distribution group and although the user had the max set higher, when sending from the distribution group address, it still failed stating that there were too many recipients until I change the organizational setting. Is there any way to allow a user to send to more than the organizational setting when sending as a distribution group address? Thank you in advance for your time!
