Client Send Options


Almost all the features under the Send option of the Client Options dialog box mirror 32-bit Windows client options. Most of the features should not be administered, unless you have some special business reason that requires you to administer or lock down a feature of the GroupWise client. Rather than explaining all of these GroupWise client-based features, this section discusses the client options under Send that are not available to the Windows client, or that are particularly noteworthy.

Allow Use of Reply to All in Rules

This option is unchecked by default. This is a good default that will cut down on vacation rules users might make that reply to all recipients of a message.

Allow Use of Internet Mail Tracking

Internet mail tracking is a feature that will work if your GWIA has Delivery Status Notification enabled. The Delivery Status Notification feature is discussed further in Chapter 10, "Installing and Configuring the GroupWise Internet Agent." If you have not enabled this feature on the GWIA, you might as well not tease users with a feature that will not work.

Wildcard Addressing

Wildcard addressing can allow users to send a message to a lot of other users. Fortunately, there is no dialog box in the GroupWise client that prompts or coaches users to use wildcard addressing. Generally this is a feature you will want to disable company-wide, and then enable for a few select people. For more information on how to use wildcard addressing, use the Help feature in the GroupWise client, and then read up on how to send a message with a wildcard address.

Wildcard addressing can be configured to enable users to send to the following:

  • Post office: All users on the sender's same post office.

  • Domain: All users on the post offices in the same domain as the sender's post office.

  • System: All users on all post offices in all internal GroupWise domains in the GroupWise system.

  • Unlimited: All users on all post offices in all internal GroupWise domains in the GroupWise system; all users on all external domains that you might have defined.

Allow Reply Rules to Loop

Starting with GroupWise 6.0x, there is some rule loop detection intelligence in the GroupWise POA that was designed to not allow reply rules to loop. Sometimes, though, the rule loop detection intelligence goes too far, and the result is that your users might complain that a rule fires off only once, and then never works beyond that. If you enable the Allow Reply Rules to Loop feature, your users should no longer experience this problem.

Global Signature

This feature is new to GroupWise 7. If a Global Signature has been created under GroupWise System Operations, the signature can be chosen from this drop-down dialog. A Global Signature isn't necessarily "global" because it can be enabled in the same granular manner as the other features available in Client Options.

Conceal Subject

This feature allows an administrator to indicate that the subject of messages should be concealed. This feature would generally be implemented on a limited basis, for special-purpose mailboxes.

Require Password to Complete Routed Item

When a user creates a message into a routing slip and recipients of the routing slip mark the slip as completed, the recipient will be prompted to enter the same password that was used to authenticate to GroupWise.

Secure Item Options

Using S/MIME is explained in detail in Chapter 30, "Creating a Secure Messaging Solution."

Disk Space Mgmt

With this feature, you can specify just how much disk space users' mailboxes can use, as well as the largest message that users can send.

Following are the settings you can set from the Disk Space Mgmt window:

  • Mailbox Size Limits: This is the maximum amount of space allocated to users for their messages and the attachments associated with those messages.

    Note

    Mailbox size is made up of anything in the user's mailbox, including items in shared folders and document references to documents in a GroupWise library.


  • Threshold for Warning Users: When a user is getting close to the quota of disk space, the GroupWise client warns the user that allocated disk space is getting low.

  • Maximum Send Message Size: Good when you don't want your users to send messages over a certain size. This option is one way to prevent users from using email as an FTP utility.

  • Perform Maintenance Purges on Caching/Remote: With this new feature in GroupWise 7, you can now enforce the same mailbox size limits on users' Caching and Remote mailboxes, wherever those mailboxes are located. The size limit is applied the next time the GroupWise Windows client synchronizes with users' Online mailboxes. Because users might lose items that they have been storing locally when the size limit is enforced, you should warn users that size limits are going to be placed on their local Caching and Remote mailboxes.
