2nd post - Group in smtp inbound restrictions doesnt work!

I created a group containing internet address that I want to prevent my users to receive e-mail.group name: deny-smtp

group type: deny list only

In server config. doc. I inserted this group name into field “Deny messages from the following internet addresses/domains” that would stop e-mails coming from any addresses listed in the group.

I had already executed: “tell smtp update config” and “tell router update config”.

It is not blocking at all.

I had also tried restating smtp and router tasks, but it is not blocking anyway.

I had this working before under version 6.0 and 6.0.1. Now with 6.5 it doesnt work.

Any help will be appreciated.

Groups do not work in those fields. People would need to be listed explicitly. Further, there is a 64K limit for that field.

From Domino Administration 6.5 Help:"

Deny messages from the following Internet addresses/domains:

Internet addresses from which the server does not accept messages.

During the SMTP conversation, the Domino SMTP listener compares the address in the MAIL FROM command received from the connecting host with the entries in this field.

If you enter addresses in this field, all messages except those matching addresses listed in this field can route to your users. Mail is denied only from addresses matching the entries in this field.

For example, if you enter lotus.com in the field, Domino accepts messages from all Internet addresses and domains except those ending in lotus.com. Domino denies messages from senders whose addresses end in lotus.com.

You can create a Notes group containing a list of addresses from which to deny messages and enter the group name in this field. A group entry is valid only if it does not contain a domain part or dot (“.”). For example, the group with the name group1 is valid, but the groups named iris.com or group2@iris are not.

This seems to work for full addresses, but I’d like to restrict everything from .nl or .ru and it does not seem to be working. Any ideas?

I stand corrected. I saw your other post with the resolution of the group type change.

Kudos to you!
