Use this property page to override the Internet Addressing settings established at the GroupWise® system level (Tools menu > GroupWise System Operations > Internet Addressing), the domain level (Domain object > GroupWise tab > Internet Addressing page), or the post office level (Post Office object > GroupWise tab > Internet Addressing page).
Preferred Address Format
The preferred address format determines how e-mail addresses are displayed in
the GroupWise Address Book and in the To field of sent messages.
By default, the GroupWise object (user, resource, and so forth) inherits its preferred address format from the system-level, domain-level, or post-office-level setting. To override the inherited setting for this object, select Override, then select the preferred address format.
Some GroupWise objects, such as resources and distribution lists, do not have first names and last names. If you choose an address format that includes firstname, lastname, or firstinitial, and an object does not support these fields, the object's ID is substituted in each instance. For example, when using the firstname.lastname@internet_domain_name format, resource addresses are displayed as resourceID.resourceID@internet_domain_name.
Preferred E-Mail ID
If you do not want to use one of the preferred address formats, specify an explicit
address for the username portion of the address format. The address can be in
any form as long as all characters are RFC compliant (no spaces, commas, and
so forth). The username portion must be unique within its Internet domain. This
means that a username can be used multiple times in your GroupWise system, provided
it is used only once in each Internet domain.
Allowed Address Formats
The allowed address formats determine which address formats GroupWise supports
for incoming messages and for logins by POP3/IMAP4 client users. GroupWise delivers
a message only if the recipient's address conforms to one of the allowed address
formats.
Because the allowed address formats apply to POP3/IMAP4 logins, do not deselect UserID@Internet_domain_name if you have POP3/IMAP4 users. This would prevent them from logging in with their GroupWise user IDs, and using a different format would be inconvenient for them.
By default, the GroupWise object inherits its allowed address formats from the system-level, domain-level, or post-office-level setting. To override the inherited setting for this object, select Override, then select the allowed address formats.
Internet Domain Name
The Internet domain name, along with the preferred address format, is used to
construct the e-mail addresses included in the GroupWise Address Book and the To
field of sent messages.
By default, the GroupWise object inherits its preferred Internet domain name from the system-level, domain-level, or post-office-level setting. To override the inherited setting for this object, select Override, then select the appropriate Internet domain name.
For Incoming Mail, Recipients Are Known Exclusively by This Internet Domain Name
If you select this box, this object receives only e-mail addressed to the Internet domain name selected above, even if another valid Internet domain name is used. A valid Internet domain name is any domain name you've defined at the system level (Tools menu > GroupWise System Operations > Internet Addressing).For example, suppose that your system has two Internet domain names: novell.com and gw.novell.com. You select gw.novell.com as the Internet domain name for this object and turn on this option. If this is a User object for Joe Smith, and Joe's GroupWise user ID is jsmith, he would receive messages addressed to jsmith@gw.novell.com but not messages addressed to jsmith@novell.com, even though novell.com is a valid Internet domain name for your GroupWise system.
If you want to use the same username in multiple Internet domains, you must select the desired Internet domain name, then select this option to ensure that messages addressed to the potentially ambiguous username are delivered to the correct user based on the selected Internet domain name.
View E-mail Addresses
For User objects only, click View E-mail Addresses to list the e-mail addresses
that are allowed by the address format selections you have made. The list also
includes e-mail addresses for any nicknames or gateway aliases that are associated
with the user.
