I have used the “Who can read this document” under the security tab to hide a user group from the rest of the users in the domain. However, I need to be able to let all incoming email from the internet to be allowed to send email to that group. How do I get it to allow that?
Subject: servers & maybe anonymous
You definitely have to have LocalDomainServers listed as an allowed reader, so the server can include the group in any views/indexes it uses to route mail.
You might have to have Anonymous as an allowed reader to make lookups for incoming mail work, but I’m not sure on that one.
If you already have LocalDomainServers, try adding anonymous. If you don’t have the servers, try them only first. Be sure to Ctrl_Sh + F9 on the server names.nsf of your internet gateway server before testing again, and it probably wouldn’t hurt to restart the smtp and router task as well. Just to be sure the change is picked up.
Subject: Tried them, no luck
Hi there, thank you so much for the reply. As you suggested I added “Anonymous” and “LocalDomainServers” to the can read. I also added the server name itself, and “OtherDomainServers” and hit Crtl_Sf+F9 and tested it. I still can not send to that group. I get an error back from Domino that says: “DELIVERY FAILURE: Not authorized to send mail to this user or group”.
I even added the name and the address of the sender I am sending from for test purposes and I still got the delivery failure. It seems that no matter what I put there it still is unable to route internet emails destined to this group name that I have assigned specific users to.
Internet email goes to other groups just fine, but those I have not “hidden” from the general users.
Thanks again for you help, I would love to try any other ideas. I’ve been poking around all day in this and can’t seem to find anything that would allow this to happen.
Subject: restart router? group type?
Did you rebuild the views and restart the router after each change, to be sure it was initialized?
What is the group type on the group? If it is ACL only , that could be the problem.
Also, check your messaging configuration. Router/SMTP > Restrictions and Controls > SMTP Inbound Controls, “Inbound Intended Recipients Controls” section. Make sure Deny mail to groups: Disabled
