Hello Com,

is there a way to lock a user so that he can´t send any mails (also like read confirmation/ or info when mails gets deleted unread)?

Thanks & Regards

Service Router rulesets can do this.
Admin Guide PDF, page 151 ff.

Thanks for this.
I tried it and i could create a rules that discard all acks with the router queue.
For a single user i wouldn´t work.

After that i tried the following:
my file look like this: ORIGINATOR="Hans R/scalix/CN=R, Hans" ACTION=DISCARD
The Local queue don´t get accepet so what queue is the right? omaddrt -m Hans -q LOCAL -d Hansfile
Also tried UNIX but nothing happens.

Are there some expirienced users who could help me?

Thanks
regards
Hans

I have faced the same problem and instead of working on the originator address I have used the SENDER-SERVICE-LEVEL criteria.
This will help you create a REJECT rule for all users with the given service level.

So, let's assume that all users with service level 50 do not have the right to SEND mails. All you have to do is to write your ruleset file like this.



Apply the ruleset to the router and then give service level 50 to all users you do not want to send emails.

To do that



This way you can handle your rule as generally available and if you have other users to apply the same restriction on simply change their service level to 50.
On the other hand your life will be easier if you have to remove the rule : instead of deleting the rule from router simply change service level of the afftected user(s) to anything different from 50.

Hope it helps.

thx for reply.

I tried it like you said the only change a made was the Action= discard?

the queue i took ROUTER?
could you also provide me the command omaddrt with options
which was successful for you?

Regards Hans

To apply your ruleset you have to run



where <your-server-mail-node-name> can be derived by


So ... if you want your rule to be applied only for outgoing mail (I mean to the internet) leaving the user the ability to send mails to other users in the same mail server then you will

Thanks this worked really well.
But whats left is the reid recreipts and the message which will be sent if a mail gets unread deleted.
i tried it the same way with service lvl , just add TYPE=ACK withouth success.

i looked in the audit like said in http://www.scalix.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14602&p=63364&hilit=disable+read#p63364.
and it seems that the ACK messages have the same Originator and Recipient, so the user who got the mail has nothing to do with the process of sending? or am i wrong?

could someone also help with this?

Thanks & Regards

i made a mistake during the tests with the rules.
the problem is now i got a route to the local queue which cannot be deleted because its a local one.
also i can´t add a mailnode with the same name as the route.
and now the route is also in sac as a mailnode but not accessable and gray also i cannot add users.
someone have an idea? also could nothing find in the internet.

Thx Hans
