7 In the Preferred Address Format field, select your GroupWise system's default Internet address
format.
This is the format that is used when displaying addresses in the GroupWise Address Book and
in a message's From field if it is not overridden at a lower level. For a list of the available
addressing formats and their respective advantages and disadvantages, see
"Preferred Address Format," on page
You can override the preferred address format at the domain, post office, and user/resource
levels. For more information, see
on page
8 If desired, turn on the Enable "First Initial Last Name" Matching for Incoming Mail option.
This option allows the Internet Agent to resolve addresses for incoming messages by
performing first initial last name lookups on the username portion of the address. When doing
so, the Internet Agent uses the first letter of the username as the first initial and the remainder
of the username as the last name. It then resolves the address to any GroupWise users whose
Last Name field (in their eDirectory User object properties) contains the last name and whose
Given Name field starts with the first initial.
For example, if the recipient's address is jpeterson@novell.com, the first initial would be J and
the last name would be Peterson. The address would resolve to the user whose Last Name field
is Peterson and Given Name field starts with J. If more than one user's given name starts with J
(for example, John and Janice), the message is undeliverable.
This option is useful if you want to be able to use the UserID@Internet_domain_name format
but your userIDs do not really reflect your users' actual names (for example, John Peterson's
user ID is 46789 so his address is 46789@novell.com). In this case, you could publish users'
addresses as the first initial last name (for example, jpeterson@novell.com) and enable this
option so that the Internet Agent resolves the addresses to the appropriate users.
9 In the Allowed Address Formats list, select the address formats that you want to be supported
for incoming messages. GroupWise delivers a message to the recipient if any of the allowed
formats have been used in the address. By default, all formats are supported.
You can override the allowed address formats at the domain, post office, and user/resource
levels. For more information, see
on page
10 Click OK to save your changes.
If you changed the preferred address format, you are prompted to update the Internet e-mail
address (User object > General > Identification > E-Mail Address) for all affected users. The
Internet e-mail address is the address returned in response to LDAP queries to eDirectory
is recommended that you allow this update; however, performing it for the entire GroupWise
system might take a while.
At this point, Internet addressing is enabled and configured.
