Question about limiting users->

[techsharp]

Hello,

I have a contractor coming to do work for our company and my goal is to set up his email account so that he can only use webmail and not be able to send via SMTP. Can I do this in SAC? If so how do I go about accomplishing this?

If not in SAC - please direct me in the right direction ;p

Thank you!

Hi!

Create this user as a Standard one, this would restrict him/her from using Outlook, but then
IMAP could be used.

Thanks,

not be able to send via SMTP

A little tricky but possible.
1) If he is using his own laptop, (eth0 or wifi), and picking up dhcp from your network, determine exactly his mac address
2) Edit the configuration file on your dhcp server (/etc/dhcp.conf) to always assign the same IP to his computer.
3) Edit the /etc/mail/access on the mail server to deny RELAY for that IP.

On the other hand, I'm curious to know if there is a way from within scalix (SAC or not) to *deny authentication* unless the user accesses email via SWA. After all sac Advanced configuration for each user has a feature to enable or not the use of SWA. That is the reverse of what is being asked, but would provide an elegant way to do it.

Thanks guys!

Jamie - User will be remote most of the time and not using our DHCP server. When on-site if I do what you said, can he still use SWA?

Yes. When creating new users from sac, [x] enable use of SWA is checked on by default.
