Restricting Outgoing Email

[adop]

When I try to send email to everybody within my company (alias corp) I got undeliverable message saying: “You do not have permission to send to this recipient” Where is this set up and how can I change permissions.

What software are you using on the workstation? What software is used on your mail server? If you provide a bit more information I am sure that someone will be able to help you.

I didn’t even notice that I totally forgot to mention which application I’m using. It is Outlook XP or 2003 on client and Exchange 2003 on server side. I’m thinking this is done on Exchange, but where and how? I understand that management doesn't want everybody to be able to send emails to the whole company. Imagine, if someone sends "indecent" message (by mistake) to the whole corporate office. Thanks.

When you tried to do this, did you just select everyone from an address book or did you just choose a distribution list? It may simply be that if you just selected everyone that was on the list, one or two of these might be a restricted address rather than there being a policy in place to restrict someone sending to all users.

But if you are looking for restrictions placed on your account, this will definately be on the Exchange Server side. This article might be of use (about 2 thirds of the way down) :-

Hope this is of use but bear in mind that the system administrator may be a little annoyed if you start changing things that have been put in place.

This is done by limiting who can send to certain distro lists (i.e. company all) but there are ways around that. But this does put an intense strain on the mail servers and that is why your SA limited the permissions. You can call the SA and get your account added to the list. It is easily added and is easier then aggrevating the network.

If anyone calls and says "I know a little something about computers" just tell them to reformat it.
