To Define Message-Posting Restrictions

Steps

1. In Console, access the Create Group or Edit Entry window, as described in To Access Mailing Lists

2. Click the Mail tab.

3. Click the Restrictions tab.

4. (Optional) Define the allowed senders by choosing one of the following options:

   • Anyone: No restrictions on senders. (This is the default.) Note that if you choose this option, you cannot select SMTP authentication described in the next step.

   • Anyone in the mailing list: Only mailing-list members (including group members that are not email-only members) can post messages.

   • Anyone in the following list: Only those users explicitly listed in the following field can post messages.

     If you choose “Anyone in the following list”, to add a sender click Add below the Allowed Senders field—or you can click Search to open the Search Users and Groups window. If you click Add, the Add Allowed Sender window opens. Enter the email address or distinguished name (DN) of the allowed sender into the field. Click OK to add the sender to the Allowed Senders field and dismiss the Add Allowed Sender window. Repeat this step for all other allowed senders you want to add.

     For a description of the Search Users and Groups window, see the chapter on User and Group Administration, of the Sun ONE Server Console 5.2 Server Management Guide.

5. (Optional) Define the allowed sender domains to restrict where senders can post messages from:

   • Click the Add button beneath the Allowed sender domains field.

   • In the Add Allowed Sender Domain window, enter a domain name, then click OK to add the domain to the list.

     Note that a domain automatically includes any of its subdomains. For example, siroe.com includes sales.siroe.com.

6. (Optional) Define the maximum permitted message size.

   Enter the size (in bytes).

7. Click OK at the bottom of the Edit Entry window if you have finished making changes to this mailing list. Otherwise, click other tabs to continue making changes.
