Disable Sending/Receiving EXTERNAL Email

[Wulfdog]

How so I go about disableing certain email accounts from sending and receiving EXTERNAL emails???

I am using ES2K and Outlook2K as my client. I am also using the Vitrual SMTP link for receiving messages.

Right now for sending out messages, I have created a new Connector, (SMTP) connector for sending external messages to our ISP. (Incoming messages from our ISP are routed to a modem that has a Static IP address. Then it is routed to a internal pc that has Norton NAV for Gateways. Notron scans the messages, and if they are clean, it then routes the message to our Exchange Server to port 25.)

There is only a handful of users that are not allowed to have the ability to send/received external messages. I was very easy using our old email system (cc:Mail 8.3) to disable it. All I had to do is log on the cc:Mail Admin program, click on the user that I wanted to disable external messages, and then check the box that read "User can have internet email access.", and that was all there was to it. Exchange 2000 seems a little more difficult to accomplish.

Please let me know if anyone has a simple solution to the problem I am having.

Thanks a bunch!!!!

Remove the user's (SMTP) email address and they cannot receive Internet e-mail. We let them send, but some cannot receive, so we did not restrict sending. Surely there's a way in Exchange.

I'll think about it more.

Good Luck.

In the properties of the user's malbox you can add custom recipients (you have to create them first) that are not able to send email to that recipiënt

In the properties of your Internet mail connector/Service you can restrict people sending Email to the internet.

If you're having problems with one particular domain you can also restrict them here

In the properties of the IMS, goto Delivery Restrictions and add the user to restrict delivery of Internet e-mail...then they can't send.

Then as I stated above, remove that user's SMTP (Internet) e-mail address and then they can't receive.

Chow! B-)

Thanks for helping me out. I did go to the SMTP connector and added the users name to the "restrict delivery". After doing so, I tried to send out and I was STILL able to send out to the internet. I am not sure why it still is...or otherwise there is somewhere else I need to do something. Hmmmmmmm.....

I will keep on trying until I get it. If you or others have anymore ideas (what you said should work), let me know.

Thanks again for the reply and also thanks to DFRA603.

You could try to stop and start the IMC, but I don't think it will solve your problem. You never know...

Yes, definitely stop and re-start the IMS service. I know for some changes, you have to, so why not for this?

Let's cross our fingers...
