Internet Addressing

Use this property page to override the Internet Addressing settings established at the GroupWise^® system level (Tools menu > GroupWise System Operations > Internet Addressing) or the domain level (Domain object > GroupWise tab > Internet Addressing page).

The Internet Addressing settings you establish for this post office apply to all users of the post office, unless you override the settings at the user level (User 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 post office inherits its preferred address format from the system-level or domain-level setting. To override the inherited setting for this post office, select Override, then select the preferred address format.

Allowed Address Formats
The allowed address formats determine which address formats GroupWise supports for incoming messages and for POP3/IMAP4 logins. 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 post office inherits its allowed address formats from the system-level or domain-level setting. To override the inherited setting for this post office, 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 post office inherits its preferred Internet domain name from the system-level or domain-level setting. To override the inherited setting for this post office, 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 post office only accepts 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 GroupWise post office and turn on this option. Joe Smith, a user on this post office with a user ID of jsmith, 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.
