Hi all !

Yes, this is a good question !
We need to make some users with limited acces (like just ibays).

Thanks

Lock account at server-manager

Locking the account will not prevent sending or receiving of email (but will prevent reading of received emails), and would also prevent access to i-bays.

OP can prevent users from receiving email from Internet by setting the Visible property of the account in the accounts database.

There is no feature in SME server which allows a user account to be created without a mailbox or without mail access.
