Blocking distribution lists....
Blocking distribution lists....
(OP)
Doe anyone know an easy way to block people sending internet mail to a GroupWise distribution group? I have a few distribution groups and don't want them available over the internet. I'm looking for a switch I can use to remove them from being available as valid internet addresses? Any thought would be appreciated.

You can goto GWIA properties in the GW View, pick 'Access Control', 'Create' - new class of service (give it a name), in tab 'SMTP Incoming' click on Prevent incoming messages. You can also do the same in tabs 'SMTP Outgoing, IMAP4 & POP3. Then click OK, click on Distribution Lists tab, highlight the one you want, click Add>>, then OK. That should do it.
Good Luck,

That was what I thought to but when I add the Distribution group in the Class of Service, it denies all e-mail to the members of the Distribution group + the distribution list itself (more than what I wanted). Reading the information regarding Access Control it states...."the class that applies is the one that allows the most privileges.
it then goes on to describe the hierarchy
Membership through a distribution list...
the default class of service membership
domain membership
post office membership.
Under normal circumstances I really wouldn't care but I have someone playing games with my distribution groups and likes to send SPAM to them. I would like to remove them (the groups only) from receiving internet e-mail.

Can't thank you enough, that did the trick. Thanks for steering me in the right direction.
