Environment Options: Junk Mail Handling

The Junk Mail Handling Environment options determine the junk mail handling functionality of the GroupWise^® client.

Junk Mail Handling

Enable Junk Mail Handling
This setting determines whether or not the Junk Mail Handling feature is available for a user. This setting affects both the client and the POA. Junk Mail Handling allows users to block or "junk" unwanted Internet e-mail. When this setting is disabled, the client does not display any Junk Mail Handling menus or dialog boxes, and the POA does not perform any junk mail handling for the user. When this setting is enabled, the client displays Junk Mail Handling menus and dialog boxes, and the POA performs junk mail handling if the block and junk lists are also enabled.

Enable Junk Mail Using Junk Mail Lists
Makes junking based on e-mail addresses and domain names available to users. A user can junk e-mail from a specific Internet e-mail address or from an entire Internet domain, when the e-mail addresses and Internet domains are listed in the user's Junk List. (Initially, there are no entries in a user's junk list.) Junked items are delivered to the Junk Mail folder in the user's Mailbox.

Enable Junk Mail Using Personal Address Book
Makes junking of messages based on personal address book entries available to users. A user can junk e-mail from all users whose addresses are not in any personal address books (including Frequent Contacts) without building a Junk List.

Enable Junk Calendaring Using Personal Address Book
Makes junking of calendar items based on personal address book entries available to users. A user can junk calendar items from all users whose addresses are not in any personal address books (including Frequent Contacts) without building a Junk List

Auto-Delete After
Specifies the number of days after which you want junked items to be automatically deleted from users' mailboxes. The default is 14 days.

Enable Blocked Mail Using Block Mail Lists
Makes blocking available to users. A user can block e-mail from an Internet e-mail address or Internet domain, when blocked e-mail addresses and Internet domains are listed in the user's Block List. (Initially, there are no entries in a user's Block List.) Blocked items are blocked when the POA processes delivery to the user's mailbox, and the items are never delivered to the user's mailbox. When the POA log uses verbose mode, the log displays information about blocked items.

Restore Default Settings
Click to return to the default settings and clear any options you have changed.

Lock Buttons
If you click a lock button on any option, users cannot change the default setting for that option. The lock is effective for the object where you set it: domain, post office, or user. A lock at a higher level overrides a different setting at a lower level.

When settings are locked at the domain or post office level, the information is distributed to the levels below it. If a setting is locked at the domain object, the setting in the post office and user objects shows a padlock with a globe next to it, representing a domain. If it is locked at the post office object, the setting at the user object shows a padlock with a postal box next to it, representing a post office.

If a setting cannot be locked at the user level because the option is not available in the GroupWise client, the setting in the user object does not contain a lock button. However, a lock icon shows if the setting was locked at the post office or domain.
