Exclude Users or Mailboxes

You can exclude certain mailboxes from receiving email notifications, from the welcome process and login status reports. You can exclude users by user sets, mailing lists, servers, and individual users.

This is typically useful to exclude resource mailboxes or other mailboxes that are not associated with a specific user, but which would still require the services provided by Aurea Messaging Solutions.

NOTE

In addition to the procedures provided below, you can also use the Reset status feature to change the Excluded status for many users at once. See Change Status for Multiple Users.

To exclude a user:

  1. From the AMS Admin Console, click User Administration.
  2. Click Excluded Users. The Excluded Users screen appears.
