Restricting Access to Custom Recipients/Foreign Mail Addresses (160717)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q160717 SYMPTOMS
You cannot restrict who can send to an Exchange client custom recipient.
For example, an Integra pager account accepts SMTP mail which is then
transmitted to a text pager.
To add an SMTP address to a recipient container you must make a custom
recipient. There is currently no way to directly set access restrictions as
to who can send mail to that address.
CAUSE
This behavior is by design. The receiving system is responsible for
limiting incoming mail for specific recipients.
WORKAROUND
To avoid the problem, set up a restriction on who can send to a foreign
mail address. To do this, create an Exchange Client user (to be used like
an alias) and restrict who is allowed to send to it. You must then log on
to this account (using Exchange Client) and set up a rule that
automatically forwards the mail to the foreign mail address.
NOTE: Forwards, copies, and moves in rules are applied regardless of
whether the client is logged on to Exchange Server. All other rules are
applied when the client connects to the server.
