In ConsoleOne, click Tools > GroupWise System Operations > Internet Addressing.

In the Internet Agent for Outbound SMTP/MIME Messages list, select the Internet Agent to use as the default Internet Agent for your system.

By default, each domain uses this Internet Agent for outbound messages sent by users in the domain. If you have multiple Internet Agents in your GroupWise system, you can override the default setting at the domain level. For more information, see Domain Overrides.

To define an Internet domain, click Create to display the Internet Domain Name dialog box.

Specify the Internet domain you want to define in your GroupWise system, then click OK to add it to the list of Internet domains.

Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 for each Internet domain you want to define.

When you finish, all Internet domains you want to define should be listed in the Internet Domain Names box.

The preferred Internet domain is indicated by a check mark. This is the Internet domain name that is used when GroupWise constructs a user’s preferred e-mail address. A preferred e-mail address is the address that is published in the GroupWise Address Book and in the To field of sent messages. You can override the preferred Internet domain name at the domain, post office, and user/resource levels. For more information, see Section 45.2.3, Overriding Internet Addressing Defaults.

If the Internet domain you want to be the default preferred domain for your GroupWise system is not already selected, select the desired Internet domain, then click Set Preferred Name.

In the Preferred Address Format list, select your system’s default Internet address format.

This is the format that is used when displaying addresses in the GroupWise Address Book and in a message’s From field if it is not overridden at a lower level. For a list of the available addressing formats and their respective advantages and disadvantages, see Section 45.1.4, Preferred Address Format.

You can override the preferred address format at the domain, post office, and user/resource levels. For more information, see Section 45.2.3, Overriding Internet Addressing Defaults.

If desired, turn on the Enable "First Initial Last Name" Matching for Incoming Mail option.

This option allows the Internet Agent to resolve addresses for incoming messages by performing first initial last name lookups on the username portion of the address. When doing so, the Internet Agent uses the first letter of the username as the first initial and the remainder of the username as the last name. It then resolves the address to any GroupWise users whose Last Name field (in their eDirectory User object properties) contains the last name and whose Given Name field starts with the first initial.

For example, if the recipient’s address is jpeterson@novell.com, the first initial would be J and the last name would be Peterson. The address would resolve to the user whose Last Name field is Peterson and Given Name field starts with J. If more than one user’s given name starts with J (for example, John and Janice), the message is undeliverable.

This option is useful if you want to be able to use the UserID@Internet_domain_name format but your userIDs do not really reflect your users’ actual names (for example, John Peterson’s user ID is 46789 so his address is 46789@novell.com). In this case, you could publish users’ addresses as the first initial last name (for example, jpeterson@novell.com) and enable this option so that the Internet Agent resolves the addresses to the appropriate users.

In the Allowed Address Formats list, select the address formats that you want to be supported for incoming messages. GroupWise delivers a message to the recipient if any of the allowed formats have been used in the address.

You can override the allowed address formats at the domain, post office, and user/resource levels. For more information, see Section 45.2.3, Overriding Internet Addressing Defaults.

Click OK to save your changes.

If you changed the preferred address format, you are prompted to update the Internet e-mail address (User object > General > Identification > E-Mail Address) for all affected users. The Internet e-mail address is the address returned in response to LDAP queries to eDirectory™. It is recommended that you allow this update; however, performing it for the entire GroupWise system might take a while.
