GroupWise 7 Troubleshooting 2: Solutions to Common Problems
Problem: The Internet Agent seems to receive and process messages, but never sends
them.
Action: If you are using an external domain to simplify addressing for your users,
make sure the external domain type is set to Non-GroupWise Domain, not
External Domain. In ConsoleOne, in the GroupWise View, delete the external
domain, then create a non-GroupWise domain.
Problem: You change an Internet Agent access control setting in ConsoleOne, but the
Internet Agent does not respond to the change.
Action: Exit, then restart the Internet Agent so it rereads its access control database
(gwac.db).
Problem: Message flow through the Internet Agent is being hindered because large
numbers of undesirable types of messages are passing through.
Explanation: You want to prevent messages larger than a specified size from coming into the
GroupWise system through the Internet Agent.
Action: In ConsoleOne, browse to and select the domain where the Internet Agent is
installed. Right-click the Internet Agent object, then click Properties > Access
Control. Double-click Default Class of Service.
Exit, then restart the Internet Agent.
Action: To restrict the size of incoming messages, click SMTP Incoming, select Allow
Incoming Messages, select Prevent Messages Larger than X Kbytes, specify
the maximum message size in kilobytes, then click OK.
Exit, then restart the Internet Agent.
Action: To restrict the size of outgoing messages, click SMTP Outgoing, select Allow
Outgoing Messages, select Prevent Messages Larger than X Kbytes, specify
the maximum message size in kilobytes, then click OK.
Exit, then restart the Internet Agent.
Explanation: By default, the Internet Agent downloads only 100 messages at a time. You
want to increase or decrease this number.
Action: In ConsoleOne, browse to and select the Domain object where the Internet
Agent is installed. Right-click the Internet Agent object, then click Properties.
Click Access Control, then double-click Default Class of Service. Click POP3,
modify the setting in the Maximum Number of Messages to Download field as
needed (valid settings range from 1 to 1000), then click OK.
Exit, then restart the Internet Agent.
Problem: Users of POP3 mail clients are unable to send mail through the Internet Agent.
