VMSC - VMD - Messaging

Use the Messaging dialog box, General tab to configure the privacy enforcement level for a voice mail domain.

Traditional voice mail systems typically prevent subscribers from forwarding messages marked as private or from replying to private messages with the original message attached. Most e-mail systems and e-mail clients, however, do not prevent these actions, even when a message is marked as private.

You can use the General tab to set the Privacy Enforcement Level to control how the system behaves with respect to subscriber attempts to forward messages marked as private, or attempts to reply to messages with the original private messages attached.

Launching the Screen

In the Voice Mail System Configuration window, click the voice mail domain.

Double-click Messaging. The system displays the Messaging dialog box for the selected voice mail domain, with the General tab active.

Configuring the Screen Controls

Privacy Enforcement Level Select one of the following options:

Full (Default for new systems) Select to prevent subscribers from forwarding any message marked as private. It also prevents them from replying to a private message with the original message attached.

When this option is selected, the system also restricts delivery of new private messages to recipients on networked machines (that is, other MASs, MSSs or message systems in the network). This allows private messages to be delivered only to messaging systems capable of enforcing privacy settings.

Note: Selecting this option also overrides the Restrict Client Access to Mailboxes? class of service (COS) option on the Avaya MSS. When this option is selected, all COSs behave as if that option were set to Yes.

Partial Select to prevent subscribers from forwarding any message marked as private or replying to a private message with the original message attached. It does not, however, restrict delivery of new private messages to recipients on networked machines (that is, other MASs, MSSs or message systems in the network). Private messages can be delivered to messaging systems that may not be capable of enforcing privacy settings.

Note: Avaya Modular Messaging subscribers may receive messages marked private from users on networked voice mail systems, such as Voice Profile for Internet Mail (VPIM) systems, who do not expect recipients to be able to forward them. This Privacy Enforcement Level does not, in all cases, preserve traditional voice mail semantics for private messages.

This also means that recipients of messages marked private may be able to forward them to others using e-mail. This includes subscribers using the Avaya Outlook “thick” client and non-Avaya IMAP4 and POP3 clients, if the class of service (COS) has the Restrict Client Access to Mailbox? option set to No.

Notification Only (Default for upgrades from previous Modular Messaging releases) Select to allow subscribers to forward private messages or reply with the original private message attached. Although messages are marked and announced in the Telephone User Interfaces (TUIs) as being private, they are not restricted from client access, and may be forwarded without restriction.

Note: Allowing recipients to forward messages marked as private violates the VPIM specification (RFC 2421, section 4.2.13). Because of this, private messages originating from VPIM systems are not delivered to Modular Messaging subscribers when this option is selected.
