How to restrict users to send to All Lotus Notes Users?
- Thread starter surray
- Start date
In effect, you cannot do that.
You could remove the group in the server NAB, but that would not keep the user from creating the group in his own address book, nor would it keep the user from simply selecting everyone in the Address Dialog Box.
This is not a case for technology, this is a case for discipline and education.

What that tip says is this :
1. Create a Group named, e.g., "Mail Password" and add your own name to the member list.
2. In the Internet address field, put the password followed by your domain, e.g., 987654@yourdomain.net
3. Save the group document.
4. Create a Domino Mail Rule in the Configuration document with this content.
5. If "To or cc" is All Company and "bcc" is not 987654@yourdomain.net, don't accept the message.
Now I am not an admin, so I might be missing something, but when it says "All Company", is that a group name, or a Rule setting ? Because if it is a group name, then once again, this Rule will not prevent someone creating a personal group with everyone in it, or simply using the Address button and selecting everyone.

I think the tip provider has made the assumption that most companies have some sort of All Staff mailing group and in this case refers to it as All Company.
You're quite right that this won't prevent someone sending to all staff if they really want to but it does dissuade them as it means they actually have to do something other than type All Company, or whatever, in the address field. It also prevents the favourite trick of the uneducated here whereby people reply to all with history to all staff emails with some pointless comment like "No, I don't want to buy your second hand wardrobe".
