Distribution list access

[osada]

For example, I have just created the distribution list named ad@xyz.xom and added all my company's emails there. All my colleagues can use ad@xyz.xom at the moment.

How can I deny some people in the company to use ad@xyz.xom for the distribution of any information?

In other words, all colleagues from the IT department and the HR department are allowed to use ad@xyz.xom to send any important information but it is prohibited from the Marketing Department's colleagues and other ones.

Hi,

depending on what the distribution list you created is based one this can be handled inside there.

For example, if it'd be mailman2 you could restrict posting to subscribers and disable automatic subscribing - thus you limit the ability for people to post to it to those which you manually subscribed.

If this is not possible with the mailinglist tool you use, you could also create Mailgateway rules, i.e., something the like of:
* create a who object with the email addresses which are allowed to post to the mailing list and another one with just the email address of the list itself.
* create a rule with priority 92 which accepts, which "From" of allowed people who object and "To" with mailing list
* create another rule with priority 91 which blocks, empty "From" and for the "To" use again the mailing list

hope that helps.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I'll try to follow your second advice about Mailgayeway rules.
