Lotus Notes - Internet Mode

Remove that user's Internet password from the user's Person document. Would that help? What maybe isn't convenient is that it also denies access to his mail from your internal network.

Ah, and it would also deny access to any database from a browser.

Another option: add something to the design of the mail database, that displays an error message when coming from the Internet. Not easy to close every loophole...

Does the server respond on two addresses, or its the router doing a static NAT to translate to the internal address.

If you have direct access on a different IP, you could use a redirection URL to do this:
- from the domino server record, 'Create Web', 'URL Mapping/Redirection'
- Pick the appropriate type and enter the IP address you want to block from in the site information.
- Under mapping, enter the users mailbox addess - '/mail/user.nsf/*' and a URL to send them to.
- save, restart the http task and test it out - no access to that mailbox from that IP address.

If you are NAT translating, not sure if it will work as simply. Try using a virtual server to map the name and working on something similar from there.

How many users are you talking about - only certain users you want to deny or many? Will this be a group of users that might change? Will only specific users be allowed to get to the server from the internet and the majority will not?

I am asking because there are a few ways to do this but depending on how flexible you need to be some might be to onerous

Sorry for the delay all - mekhet30's add it to the deny group achieved what I was looking for,

Thanks for all your help.
