Hello,

Anyone know of the easiest or best practice way to allow some internal uses the ability to email intranet side (within the company) and to deny certain users the ability to send mail acrossed the gateway.

I can setup restrictions on the gateway but only by IP address. We are running static reservations via DHCP so it's not that bad...but TIME CONSUMING.

Is there a quick trick to do this in Exchange 2000?

In Exchange 5.5, we have a (hidden) distribution list of "Internet Barred Users" which are prevented from using the SMTP Connector to talk to the Internet. (Under Connector Properties somewhere).

It's simple, but it works.

You just need to be aware that there could be more than one Internet Pipe within an organisation, so the Denied Distribution List would need to be applied to all Internet Mail connectors throuought the Exchange Organisation.

Then of course, you don't need to give theusers an SMTP address at all!

I presume this is similar in Exchange 2000.
