Disable mail forwarding (rule & tools)

I need to disable both rule and tool>preferences mail forwarding for all users. I can’t find which agent perform this functionality.

Is there any design option I can change to avoid this? Or an specific agent?

Thanks in advance,

Martin

To disable it from the Tools prefs, you would need to modify the template to remove the option for your users.

Instead of disabling mail rules automaticaly, i would scan them and disable it manualy beacuse it is tricky to do it by script .

Thanks! I’ve read the links you suggested.

Can’t I remove the “Send copy to” action in Specify Actions menu by modifying the Rule form design? This is to avoid users to create forwarding rules.

Also, I’ll need to disable all the “Send copy to” rules that already exist. Can I do this by searching for “Mailrule” documents with “TokActionList” = “B|1|…” ?

you can disable mail fwding via rules in the server’s config doc. It’s found on the following tab:

Router/SMTP > Restrictions and Controls > Delivery Controls > User rules mail forwarding

Does that avoids both Rule(Send copy to) and Fwd Address (MailAddress field in Person doc) forwarding?

I need both to be disabled.

Which is the agent that runs Mail Rules? If yes, can I disable that agent o modify it?

that setting only applies to rules. there is no agent, rules are processed by the router. you cannot disable the forwarding address field in the person doc but if you are the adminstrator just take the fwding address out of the person doc. user’s should not have the ability to enter anything in there anyway. you can also restrict users from creating personal agents by adding a group in the Run Person Agents field in the server doc (on the security tab) and just add the names of people who should be able to run personal agents.
