Prevent users from sending emails to wrong users

Hi
I was looking for a possible way of stopping users from sending emails to the wrong person.
Wonder if this can be achived by group policy or creating rules and alert.
What im actually looking for is when the user is about to send out the email they get a pop up message saying you about to send email to such person would you like to send now?
hoping there is some sort of a solution for these problem :)
cheers

Yes, some more details please.
The closest thing I can think of is (in Exchange 2010 - no available in 2003 or 2007) is Mailtips:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd297974.aspx
But I'm not sure that's quite what you're looking for.
And how could any software know if the person is the right person?
It would have to read the person's mind and realize they are about to make a mistake by sending the message to X instead of Y.
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.
Hi Le Pivert,
I can understand your opinion an outlook will have to be that smart to realize that the email is about to be sent to a wrong person.
What i was look for is something like a pop up notification when click on send it has a pop up message saying you are about to send this email click yes or no to cancel.
Something like when receiving emails outlook sends the notification.
I guess the above cant be achive through the outlook may have to be a third party software it there is any.
Cheers

I would look at these offerings if you are looking at Outlook Add-ins
http://www.slipstick.com/addins/auto-process/special-function-automatic-message-processing-tools/
If you thinking about server side solutions, Exchange has mailtips, hub transport rules, moderated groups etc... And of course 3rd party stuff is out there as well.

How do I prevent calendar from sending email notifications for calendar events?

Right now I have my google calendar synced with iCloud. This is great for me to add things either on my Mac, through the web on iCloud or Google Calendar, or my iphone. The problem is that I am getting notifications through email that I do not want. These are not google notifcations but those sent out through my MacBook Pro calendar/mail applications. How can I stop this from happening? I want to keep the phone notifications because that's what I need. The emails just take more of my time up since I need to delete them.

Figured it out - in System Prefernces, under "Users & Groups", you can remove individual "Login Items"

How to block a Sender from Sending Emails but Auto Reply Set on That Id should be able to send mails .

hi ,
I need to block a certain Email id from sending mails , but at the same time auto reply should work and any mail received by that id an auto reply should be generated .
Please guide me m a not an exchange pro.
Thanks

Hi,
I have some tests in my lab using Exchange 2010. I recommend you create a transport rule to prohibit a user from sending emails. Here is an example for your reference.
And then use the following cmdlet to set the auto reply for this user.
Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration -Identity "amy02" -AutoReplyState Enabled -ExternalMessage "External OOF message here" -InternalMessage "Internal OOF message here"
Here is the result.
Hope it helps.

Unable to send email to the users from Project Server Workflow

Hello all,
I am facing issues in sending emails to the users from the workflow in SharePoint Designer 2013.
I am trying to send emails to valid users in a Project server 2013 Workflow by Email action.
I have set up the SMTP server successfully, I have configured SMTP server successfully in IIS manager 6.0
I have configured the outgoing e-mail settings in Central Administration successfully,
I have configured the SMTP email settings for my web app in IIS manager as well.
I have configured and synced the User Profile App with the eMail addresses from Active Directory as well.
I have configured the Alerts and Reminders in Operational Policies of PWA settings as well.
I can send the emails to the users successfully through Powershell.
But when I am trying to Start a Task Process with a user in the workflow, the task process starts but it never sent an email notification. So I tested by using the Action Email, that also the user is unable to receive any email. But the Workflow is not giving
any error also. The email sending is successful, but the user is unable to receive it. The workflow succeeds to next phase without any errors.
So to cross verify I tried 'Alert Me' option on a list, but that also is not sending(or might be sending but the user is not receiving) the mail.
What else should I do to solve this issue.
Please help me.
Thanks,
Shanky

Hello Paul,
I tried editing the PWA instance as you said, but that also didn't help :(
I even restarted the Project Server Service, but nothing is changed.
I tried creating a new workflow for a List and used send email there, but that also is not sending the mail :(
How do I check where the issue is from ? I mean, whether the workflow is sending the mail and the mail server is not receiving? or whether the workflow is not sending the mail itself? how do I check this? Is there any way to log these details?
Please help me regarding this issue, I am totally clueless how to proceed.
Thanks,
shanky

How to send emails to Multiple Users from a Single People Picker lookup field using Sharepoint designer workflow

Hi All,
I am working with SharePoint 2013 designer workflow. we are using office 365.
Our requirement to send email to multiple users, get the user groups from lookup list people and groups column.

Please guide me to proceed.
Advance Thanks.

Jenkins NS
Thanks and Regards Jenkins

finally I got a solution
Identified a workaround to solve the issue using SharePoint designer.
Step 1
Create a lookup list Example department
Columns
Title (by default) – Single line of text
Users – Person or Group
Emails – Multiple lines of text
hidden the Emails column (go to content type and set the column as hidden)
Create a SharePoint designer Workflow
Start Workflow automatically when an item is created
Also Start Workflow automatically when an item is changed
Workflow Stage 1
Set Emails to current Item: Users
The workflow will get all users email ids and add in the Emails column delimiter as semicolon.
Step 2
Create a custom list to get the email ids and send email
Create a lookup column ex: analysis and refer department list, Allow multiple values
Then Create a SharePoint designer workflow

If I have multiple email accounts, how can I prevent one of them from sending email?

If set up multiple email accounts in Thunderbird, how can I prevent one of them from sending email, while allowing others to send?

Simple answer:
do not use the email address when sending or replying or forwarding emails. Sending is not automatic, you have to generate the email and click on a Send button.
You could use an smtp server that will not allow sending using the incorrect server for the email address, so that it cannot send, but if you accidentally use the email address you may get an error message, but at least the email will not be sent. Do this here:
Tools > Account Settings for the mail account.
bottom right Outgoing Server - select one that will not accept sending using wrong email address
OR
in Outgoing Server(SMTP) select the server you are using for that account
click on 'Edit'
deliberately make an error in the server name - remove the port details etc.
So the details are wrong and cannot send.

Send Emails to Multiple Users ?

Hi,
I am working on the requirement where I need to create workflow in which I am sending email to multiple users. I have receiver list in a 'Z' Table. So I have to fetch those users from the 'Z' table on some conditions and send emails to them. I am send email to single user mentioned statically in Receipent box but I need to find the receivers dynamically and not able to send email to multiple users.
Please help me in this.
Thanks,
Ketan

Hi Ketan,
First af all create one MULTILINE container in your workflow say LT_EMAIL. its type should be SOXNA-FULLNAME.
Then thorugh some activity step, fill all the recepient's email addresses in workflow container LT_EMAIL. Then create one activity step type to send an email using SENDRASKDESCRIPTION method of business object SELFITEM. in the ADDRESSSTRING pass the multiple container LT_EMAIL and in TYPEID pass 'U'.

Send email to multiple users using form

I am using following code to send email from forms.
But i want to send email to multiple users like atleast 10 users
It i sworking for one user.
If i give mail_pkg.send('tim@'oracle.com;[email protected]','Testing Oracle forms to send email','Testing oracle forms to send email','c:/x.pdf');
The email is not going
Can anybody help how to send to multiple users
Thanks for your help
T
PACKAGE Mail_pkg IS
session OLE2.OBJ_TYPE; /* OLE object handle */
args OLE2.LIST_TYPE; /* handle to OLE argument list */
procedure logon( Profile IN varchar2 default NULL );
procedure logoff;
procedure send( Recp IN varchar2,
Subject IN varchar2,
Text IN varchar2,
Attch IN varchar2
END;

As said,
Reports9i is better than Reports6i as far as sending emails is concerned. Reports9i allows you to send Reports in different formats as email attachements (PDF v3 is only one option). You can set subject, cc, bcc and some body text the way you want it. The Reports server only needs the address of a SMTP Server and you are ready to go. In Reports6i this is a bit more limited as you are not able to provide your own subject and body texts.
I know that you can do this with PL/SQL from teh databae, but never tried it before.
There is another option, which is to use a Java Bean in Forms for email. Thsi only works on the Web and a demo is included in teh Forms9i demos that can be downloaded from OTN. Though the demo is written for Forms9i it should work with Forms6i as well (not the Forms demo files because they are created in Forms9i).

How to Block user from Sending IM or Hide Presence of there user who is not in his department

Hi All,
How to Block user from Sending IM or Hide Presence of there user who is not in his department.
Thank you

Hi Jp,
Method 1:
You can use the Enhanced Privacy Mode in Lync 2013
<section class="ocpSection">
Enable Privacy Mode
By default, everyone except Blocked Contacts can see your presence status. To modify the privacy settings, you can do the following:
In the Lync main window, click the Options button.
In the Lync - Options dialog box, click Status, and then do one of the following:
Click I want everyone to be able to see my presence regardless of system settings (override default settings).
Click I want the system administrator to decide - currently everyone can see my presence but this could change in the future.
</section>
About Enhanced Privacy Mode
If your organization has enabled Enhanced Privacy Mode in Lync, you can choose whether to limit visibility of your presence information to only those people you’ve added to your Contacts list. You do that by selecting one of the following on the
Options->Status window:
I want everyone to be able to see my presence
I only want people in my Contacts list to see my presence
Method 2:
Using Privacy Relationship, you can block a particular user by adding him to blocked contacts

Help with sending emails to multiple users.

Currently we have a process to send mail to muliple users by looping through the list of users and sending each individual an email
<Action id='1' name='sendEmail' application='com.waveset.provision.WorkflowServices'>
<Argument name='op' value='notify'/>
<Argument name='template' value='$(template)'/>
<Argument name='toUser' value='$(tuser)'/>
<Argument name='catch' value='notificationException'/>
</Action>
The variable tuser contains a single email address.
Is there any way to setup tuser to contain multiple email addresses?
I have tried passing a list and a string separated by colons (ex: <s>[email protected]; [email protected]</s>) and neither one works.
Question 2
Is it a bad idea to try and send email to up to 50000 users at once using IDM? Besides the fact that I would need to search for specific users and get their email addresses based on their capabilities.

Hi,
For sending emails to multiple users, use to instead of toUser. Put the names in comma seperated values
<Action id='0' application='com.waveset.provision.WorkflowServices'>
<Argument name='op' value='notify'/>
<Argument name='template' value='$(template)'/>
<Argument name='to' value='$(to)'/>
<Argument name='cc' value='$(cc)'/>
<Argument name='catch' value='notificationException'/>
</Action>
You can use IDM to send emails.
it will be a good idea to break down the email that you are sending into groups/batches. If possible, you can send email to DL s
Else, you can segregate the users based on roles and send emails. This will reduce the load. Hope it helps

Send email to multiple user

All experts:
    I want to send an email to multiple user, I use the FM:SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1,
this FM can to mutiple user's email address ,but it can not re-set the email sender.
another FM is: EFG_GEN_SEND_EMAIL, this FM can re-set the email sender and email receiver, but this only can send one email to one receiver.
My question is, can anyone tell me how to send email to mutiple user,
e.g.: sender: abc/at/abc.com
        receiver 1 cdg/at/abc.com
        receiver 2   dd/at/hotmail.com
I want to send this email to both them at a time. and i can dynamic set the email sender.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It is a good practice to write a function to send email and use this function as much as you want.
Please create the following function exactly,
it will help you:
You see imports and exports of this function:
TO1 through TO3 is the mail adresses you can pass. You can use just one of them or all of them.
And you can use the BODY STRUCTURE TLINE OPTIONAL
as the contents of the email.
Hope helps.

Database mail user not sending emails

Hi all
I have a user (User1) which is employed to send an email to an internal address when an event is triggered. It's DB permissions are as follows:
StorageDB - dbOwner
msdb DB - DatabaseMailUserRole
When I instigate a trigger, this user should have access sp_send_dbmail to send an emil to a user. This however is not the case.
In attempting to find a solution, I have given User1 sysadmin server role rights on our dev server and upon doing this, this now allows the user to send an email.
So there is something within the sysadmin server role which is allowing the user to send emails.
What can I do to allow the user to send emails WITHOUT sysadmin access?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Did you review the database mail log with Log File Viewer? It should provider some clue of the issue.
