Re(2): deny email to a user question
> >why does the user not get mail access? > Very good question, I asked this one to myself as well. The users are students at a high school, and one parent didn't want their children using email. The principal asked me if I could block it. (Potato running IMP) I then realized that the student has access to the internet. Thus blocking all web based emailers is almost impossible. I guess my last resort would be to block internet alltogether from this student, but thats sorta like letting him go to school, but not allowing him to read anything. I think I'll have to leave it the way it was. Anyway, Thanks to everyone who responded, all your ideas were great! Mike
