Setting up community sending restrictions

A community is a group of subscribers to whom you have assigned some type of calling restrictions. The administration of communities enables you to further define the allowed call destinations of your subscribers.

You create a community to prevent members from:

  • Sending mail to other groups
  • Receiving mail from other groups

For example, imagine that you have just set up two communities. Community 1 cannot send messages to international communities. Therefore, you assign the subscribers who cannot have international access to Community 1. Community 2 has international access. Therefore, you assign the international machines and the individuals who are permitted to access international numbers to Community 2.

Then you administer the communities so that Community 1 is restricted from sending messages to Community 2. This process tells the messaging system which subscribers can and cannot access international destinations.

If you have purchased the Enhanced-List Application (ELA) software, you need to plan a special community if you want to restrict ELA access to select subscribers, as described in Setting up ELA and shadow mailbox community IDs.

Once you have administered all communities here, you can assign individual subscribers to the desired community using the Edit Local Subscribers web-based administration page or the Mailbox Manager application. See Editing a local subscriber or the Mailbox Manager User Guide for more information. You can also assign machines, for example, fax machines, to communities that are using the Machine Profile screen and the change machine machine_name command.

Note: You must use the sa login to change data on this screen. Administrators who use the vm login can view only the data on this screen.

  1. Start at the Messaging Administration main menu and select:
