Reject certain Email Addresses

[susanh]

How do you set email coming from certain addresses to be denied or rejected?

GroupWise doesn't have that capability but a third party product called Guinevere does that and more. For more information goto:

Good luck,

Actually, I think if you go to Tools-->Rules-->New (name it something) then select if: item type = mail:from (fill in the email address) then goto the bottom of the options and choose "Add Action" and select "Decline/Delete" that be be what your looking for. Haven't tried it personally, but seems like it should work. Hope this helps ~

You set restrictions on the GWIA. There you have Access control.

Go to that, highlight default, edit, ther you have Allow incoming SMTP, with a section for prevent. This will work at the GWIA so no mail will come into the system. It will not bounce tell the sender it has been rejected but will go into the never never.

There should be no need to restart the gwia after each prevention is set.

I agree with theripper (as i don't know much about GWIA!) but select empty item instead of delete as this will also delete it from the trash.

I've used the GWIA option to stop multiple messages from the same Address to a lot of different users. You have a lot of options this way, you can block a specific Domain with domain.com or variations with *.domain.com. Also this will work with someone@domain.com or any other combonation.
However a word of caution, I've found that the GWIA blocked messages get sent to the gateway problem directory and need to be cleared out to free up space.
