On a hunch, I tired sending an email from my Gmail account (using the web) to my @att.blackberry.net address, and those emails are blocked.
I guess if I send an email from my work email account to my device, BES somehow sees that the message is coming from someone on the BES and allows it through. That's my best guess. Anyway, this accomplishes what I need for the time being. - Chris On Tue, Oct 6, 2009 at 5:20 PM, Chris Burwell <cburw...@gmail.com> wrote: > Rich, > > I tried both, but the messages are still arriving to my device. > > I have a Gmail account setup on my device through BIS as well, and the > messages from my Gmail account are being blocked (according to the > firewall blocked message count). > > - Chris > > On Tue, Oct 6, 2009 at 5:09 PM, Rich Fleming > <rflem...@hirschinternational.com> wrote: >> Forgive the semi-obvious question... but did you push the updated IT Policy >> to the device(s) after you made the policy change? >> And, if so, did you verify that the new policy was successfully applied to >> the handheld? >> >> Some policy changes also like the device to be hard reset after they are >> applied. >> You might also want to try a battery pull and re-test. >> >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: bes-admins-boun...@dataoutages.com >> [mailto:bes-admins-boun...@dataoutages.com] On Behalf Of Chris Burwell >> Sent: Tuesday, October 06, 2009 4:59 PM >> To: BES Admins >> Subject: [Bes-admins] Block "BlackBerry Device Email Address" >> >> I am trying to block email sent to what the BIS site calls the >> "BlackBerry Device Email Address".
