Hi Guys, I have a situation where I want to ensure a specific mailbox can only send mails but not received. Is there someway I can achieve this. I'm running Exchange 2003 sp2 on Windows 2003 SP2. Thanks

From both internal and external users? If so, I would simply set set delivery restrictions on that mailbox to accept messages only from an account that you designate. All other messages sent to that account will then bounce.

Hi Andy, I tried this but I was still able to send to the account. I did the following Select the account properties Under Exchange General Select Delivery Restrictions Specified only from and entered select user However, that did not work. Any other thoughts

You can also open up relay restirction for this user ( maybe from IP) and this doen not even require a mailbox on your exchange server . So no one can reply to it also

Which user? It may require some time before it works. Can you test again.

All other messages sent to that account will then bounce. .. . . and only from authenticated users. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

How did you send the test message? If you used an anonymous SMTP session then simply restricting the set of users to one person isn't enough. Anonymous SMTP sessions can only be disallowed by selecting the "Only from authenticated users" checkbox. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
