47.1 Controlling User Access to the Internet

You can use the GroupWise Internet Agent's Access Control feature to configure a user's ability to
send and receive SMTP/MIME messages to and from Internet recipients and to access his or her
mailbox from POP3 or IMAP4 e-mail clients. In addition to enabling or disabling a user's access to
features, you can configure specific settings for the features. For example, for outgoing SMTP/
MIME messages, you can limit the size of the messages or the sites to which they can be sent. By
default, there are no limitations.
Access Control can be implemented at a user, distribution list, post office, or domain level.
Choose from the following information to learn how to set up and use Access Control.
