Scalix Forums

I am installing Scalix Community Edition 10.0.1 in a school district which will be used for student internal (Intra-Mail) use only. Nothing is to leave that server. I was think of using rules but I am not sure. Has anyone done anything like this before?

I wonder if you could just keep sendmail shutdown and be done with it...

Maybe just create accounts but not make them internet accounts.

See creating accounts from the command line.

Well, what about a rule on the firewall forbidding outgoing port 25 connections from that server? That'll last you through version upgrades, init 6's and everything ...

Actually, that's kind of a neat idea, cause you could even make the accounts like student@school if you don't need a TLD.

And how about restricting some users to internal mail only? I would like to create a group, add the users to the group and apply that restriction. How can it be done?

The proper way to do this is to utilize what is known as a ruleset file in the /var/opt/scalix/rules directory, and the recipient service level that can be established on each user. Look in the knowledgebase under the How-To's for an "Internet Mail Restrictions"

It should provide you everything you need to make this work.

That's exactly what I wanted.

Thanks a lot
