On Tuesday, November 12, as part of a company wide initiative to bring all corporate websites under the OpenText brand, the Community will be down briefly around 11am Eastern / 8am Pacific as we transition to a new domain name.  The community will be offline while we make the change and when it comes back online it will be located at community.opentext.com and the old domain will redirect to this new location.  Thank you for your patience as we make this important change.

GroupWise Rule Conditions to act on Internal or External Email

1 Likes
Over the years I have been asked this question often enough that I am prompted to write this article. The question... how do I create a rule to only act on internal email or email from external [Internet] sources? The trick to this is using the field called "View Name" in your rule condition.

Firstly, this field is not always immediately present in the drop-down list when defining the conditions of the rule. So, if you do not see it on the drop-down list, select “All Fields…” at the bottom of the list. The following will be displayed:



Figure 1- All Filter Fields - View Name



Now, with View Name selected, the next operator becomes important… You set it to either “Contains” or “Does Not Contain”.  In the last field you enter the word “internet” (no quotation marks).

If you set this condition to “View Name contains internet” the end result is this rule condition will act on email received from the Internet.

If you set this condition to “View Name does not contain internet” the end result is this rule condition will only act on email received internally.

So, that is my trick to solving the challenge of creating rules to act on internal or external email. I trust this is useful.
