To block or junk e-mail from an Internet domain

 Use Junk Mail Handling to decide what to do with unwanted Internet e-mail that is sent to your GroupWise® e-mail address. This includes all e-mail where the sender’s address is in the form of name@domain.com, name@domain.org, and so forth.

Junk Mail Handling does not apply to internal e-mail. Internal e-mail is e-mail where the sender is part of your GroupWise system and the From field shows only the name of the sender, not an Internet address as explained above. If you want to block or junk internal e-mail, you can use Rules.

An Internet domain is the part of the e-mail address that comes after the @. For example, in the address Henry@mymail.com, the Internet domain is mymail.com.

  1. Right-click or Ctrl+click an item > click Junk Mail.

  2. Click Junk Sender.

    or

    Click Block Sender.

  1. Select Junk Any E-Mail From This Internet Domain or Block Any E-Mail From This Internet Domain.

    If you select Junk, the Internet domain is added to the Junk List. All future e-mail items from this Internet domain will be delivered to the Junk Mail folder. You can specify that the items in this folder be automatically deleted after <n> days. This folder is not created in the folder list unless a Junk Mail option is enabled or an address or Internet domain is added to the Junk List (which enables the Junk List option).

    If you select Block, the Internet domain is added to the Block List. All future e-mail items from this Internet domain will not be delivered to your Mailbox.

    You cannot use wildcard characters such as * or ? in an Internet domain name. However, blocking an Internet domain, for example idomain.com, affects all e-mail from idomain.com and any subdomains that prefix this Internet domain, for example, offers.idomain.com or members.idomain.com. A domain of abcidomain.com would not be affected.

  2. If the Junk List or Block List is not enabled, select Enable Junk List or Enable Block List.

At any time, you can click Tools > Junk Mail Handling > Junk List or Block List > New to add an Internet domain to the Junk List or Block List.
