Allow user to login but not to send or receive email
Hi all,
I'm trying to find a way to allow some of my user to be able to log in to messenger express but forbid them to receive or send email.
I have a group SupportTeam with users belonging to that group.
For example user BEN@mycompany.com belongs to the group SupportTeam
In that case I want BEN to
- automatically suscribe to shared folder by supportteam@mycompany.com (as soon as he is added to the group) with read only permission
- automatically unsuscribe to the previous shared folder if it is removed from the group
- not receive any mail addressed to ben@mycompany.com
- send emails as supportteam@mycompany.com and not ben@mycompany.com
If you have any idea to help me...
Thanks
Ben

Thanks for your answer,
The reason why I don't want them to log in as the same user is because I need all the users to have a different password.
I thought of using a mailing list which is perfect because it can be used dynamically but there is still the problem of avoiding people from sending and receiving mail with their own account.
There must be a trick to change the "MAIL FROM" so that when ben@mycompany.com sends an e-mail it looks like sent by supportteam@mycompany.com.
And there might be another one to restrict the list of ben@mycompany.com valid addresses for receiving (ie only supportteam@mycompany.com) and for sending (ie nobody).
If you have any idea.
Thanks again
Ben

I honestly don't have any idea how you could enforce what you're looking for.
Now, there's nothing that enforces a "fat" client using the correct "from" address. You can put in anything.....
You can inactivate "ben"'s account, so it can't receive mails.
You could even put a sieve filter in place, so he can't send mail out with his return address.

I am almost done with the problem:
Here is how I want to do it:
Create an account ben@mycompany.com
Create an account supportteam@mycompany.com and share inbox folder with ben@mycompany.com
I log in as ben and suscribe to the shared folder.
Then I just have to configure Outlook with sender email: supportteam@mycompany.com and configure imap with ben login and password.
I try now to find a way to share dynamically inbox folder with all users belonging to a certain group.
Thanks,
Ben

Hi,
With regards to sharing out a folder dynamically to a certain group, please refer to the following section of the 2005Q4 Messaging Admin Guide:
"To Add Shared Folders with an Email Group"
This will still require the user in question to subscribe to the folder, but this can be a standard process when setting up the email client.
p.s. If you are deploying an email client, may I recommend Thunderbird instead. Outlook tends to be too tightly integrated with Office/OS etc.
Regards,
Shane.
