Scalix Forums

I have started to get spam to my mail-enabled public folders. My intention was to change the ACL's on them like I did with the ACI's on my PDL's so that only local users, users of my other mail nodes, and a select few internet addresses can write to them. However, when I try to add the ACL's for internet users, I get errors:



When I added an asterisk before /internet, it took the command, but not with the desired results:



When I try to add permissions in Outlook, I get an error stating "The folder does not permit the inclusion of Internet addresses".

What is the correct way to limit who can send mail to a public folder address?

Thanks,
Kenny

Hi,

Because Scalix ACL is cumulative, the first step is to remove 'create' from the 'Default' group (e.g. ommodacln -t b -l ... -g default -c -create).

The group 'Local Users' should be modified in the same way if you don't want every Scalix user to be able to 'create'.

For each user to be given more access right, add an entry to the ACL using omaddacln. Wildcard pattern is generally not recommended as some clients don't like it.

Each internet user should be added to the directory with proper Scalix ORN fields so that these can be used to match the ACL entries correctly in the same way as Scalix users.
