Restricting External E-mail
« on: June 06, 2001, 09:11:13 PM »
Hi,                                              

For various reasons our company has made a decision that all employees should have "internal" e-mail (i.e. only be able to send mail to domains hosted by e-smith), but only a select few should have "external" e-mail (able to send to other domains i.e. "real" e-mail).  It would be preferable for all users to be able to receive mail from "the outside", but not a necessary requirement. This doesn't appear to be a popular choice for anyone else, as I can't see anything in the archives about it :-)

Anyone got any ideas as to how I can achieve this? I'd prefer to use a single e-smith box, but I'll consider any solution (I've already rejected murdering the decision-maker!)

Thanks for any pointers, even to past discussions (I can't believe that NO-ONE has ever wanted to do this before!)

Richard
