9.7 Limiting Users’ Ability to E-Mail Messages Directly to You

By default, anyone in your organization can send messages directly to you on the Vibe site through e-mail. They can also reply to a direct message through e-mail. For more information on sending messages to the Vibe site through e-mail, see Section 2.2, E-Mailing Messages into Vibe.

Direct messages are private messages that only the sender and recipients can view. (For more information about direct messages, see Section 2.1.2, Sending a Direct Message to Another Vibe User.)

If you want to restrict users from sending you direct messages in Vibe from an e-mail client, you can change this setting.

  1. From any page in Vibe, click Settings in the upper right corner of the Vibe interface.

  2. Click Permissions.

  3. In the Email Direct Messaging section, select No one can email you a direct message.

  4. Click Save.
