Problem hiding PDLs - no partner.xml

[Chris 1974CE]

I wish to prevent our PDLs from being used by external addresses (i.e. spam). As per the suggestion in other posts, I looked up the "How to hide PDLs from external users" article in the knowledge base. The instructions in that article call for the editing of a "partner.xml" file. However, no such file exists anywhere on my Scalix server.

Can anyone provide some guidance for me? Thanks.

With release 10 partner.xml got replaced with swa.properties in /etc/opt/scalix/webmail.

Edit the file and look for this

swa.ldap.1.authType=none

change that to simple and just below add

swa.ldap.1.bindDN=rfc822mailbox=%u

Restart tomcat.

Thanks,
Don

I tried your instructions, but it doesn't seem to have worked. Here's what I have:

Code: Select all

# nano /etc/opt/scalix/webmail/swa.properties

...
swa.ldap.1.authType=simple
swa.ldap.1.bindDN=rfc822mailbox=%u
...


Code: Select all

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/scalix-tomcat restart

                                                           [  OK  ]

                                                           [  OK  ]


After doing this, mail sent to a group/PDL from an external address is still distributed to the list. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

Did you do

omaddaci -l "PDL Name" -g default -c "-read"

as per the rest of the instructions in the solution you found?

Thanks,

D'oh! I did not. I did that and it worked like a charm.

Thank you very much for your help!
