Here's a bit of a brain-teaser...
A customer wants to know how to prevent ONE user from sending mail; it
seems the user in question has been a bad boy and they want to clip his
wings a bit. They still want him to be able to use WP and have access
to shared drawers and for TM to function as usual but he's not supposed
to be able to create or send mail from EM or WP.
To my knowledge, there is no magic option/flag/field existing in IOS to
allow this. Customisation would be a lot of work to get totally
bomb-proof (this user is in MIS and could probably find any holes).
Given that the MAIN drawer seems to be essential for mail functions I tried
various combinations of creating a new WP drawer, deleting or disabling
the MAIN drawer, setting the INDICATOR flag on the MAIN drawer, setting
ACLs on DOCDB etc. etc. None of these options work - it becomes
impossible to select a non-MAIN drawer (I get "drawer does not exist")
so basically the account is useless because I can't work in the MAIN
drawer and I can't work in ANY other drawer.
I'm also concerned that a screwed-up MAIN drawer will casue problems
for TRM and TRU.
Anyone got any bright ideas?

It will be tricky to stop EM but still allow full TM functionality, as he will need to send messages to schedule meetings and may use that as a hack to send other messages. Didn't a corrupt NICKNAME.DAT cause addressee validation to access- violate? mb | |||||
