Distribution List - Mailing Restriction
Hi
I found that sending mails to Mail Distribution lists can be restricted using the attribute mgrpAllowedBroadcaster.
We have a distribution list with 400 members and if we want a restriction that the mail should be sent to the mail group only by the members of the group, then do I need to assign the list of all members to mgrpAllowedBroadcaster.Or is there any other way to do that.
Your help on this will be appreciated
Thanks

The attribute, mgrpAllowedBroadcaster may contain a list of addresses, or an ldap query, or you can use one of the several other techniques.
Or, you can use a wildcard....
There is also a real difference between a "mail group" and a "mail list" in how the list behaves.
To change from a "group" to a "list", add the attribute:
mgrpErrorsTo
and somebody to receive these errors.
When you have a "list", messages will appear to come from the errorsto person, not from the sender. There will be a "reply to" that's the list.
To specifically answer your question, "how to limit broadcaster to group members"
It's actually one of the examples given in the doc:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2657/6n4ub3hng?a=view
To specify that only the members of this group can post to the group, use the group name as the value of the attribute.
