Creating A Class Of Service - Novell GROUPWISE 8 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

The default class of service, which all users belong to, allows incoming and outgoing SMTP/MIME
messages, and allows POP3 and IMAP4 access. You can control user access, at an individual,
distribution list, post office, or domain level, by creating different classes of service and adding the
appropriate members to the classes. For example, you could create a class of service that limits the
size of SMTP/MIME messages for a selected individual, distribution list, post office, or domain.
Because you can assign membership at the user, distribution list, post office, and domain level, it is
possible that a single user can be a member of multiple classes of service. This conflict is resolved
hierarchically, as shown in the following table.
Table 47-1

If a user's membership in two classes of service is based upon the same level of membership (for
example, both through individual user membership), the class that applies is the one that allows the
most privileges.
IMPORTANT: The Internet Agent uses the message size limit set for the default class of service as
the maximum incoming message size for your GroupWise system. Therefore, you should set the
message size for the default class of service to accommodate the largest message that you want to
allow into your GroupWise system. As needed, you can then create other classes of service with
smaller message size limits to restrict the size of incoming messages for selected users, distribution
lists, post offices, or domains. Methods for restricting message size within your GroupWise system
are described in
page 195.
NOTE: Attachment on incoming SMTP messages are included in the
being attached to the message. Therefore, attachment contribute twice to the size of the overall
message. Take this account when determining the maximum incoming message size for your
GroupWise system.
