Problem hiding PDLs - no partner.xml

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
Stopping Tomcat service: Using CATALINA_BASE: /opt/scalix-tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME: /opt/scalix-tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/scalix-tomcat/temp
Using JAVA_HOME: /usr/java/jre1.5.0_04
[ OK ]
Starting Tomcat service: Using CATALINA_BASE: /opt/scalix-tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME: /opt/scalix-tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/scalix-tomcat/temp
Using JAVA_HOME: /usr/java/jre1.5.0_04
[ 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,
Don

D'oh! I did not. I did that and it worked like a charm.
Thank you very much for your help!
