Problem

When creating a group in the IBM Lotus Domino Directory, you can set the group as "ACL only" so that this group is only used in the Access Control List (ACL) of databases.  When addressing a message in IBM Lotus Domino Web Access (DWA), however, "ACL only" groups can be selected as the recipient of the message.  If you address a message from the Notes Client, "ACL only" groups are not available for selection as recipient.

This issue was reported to Quality Engineering as SPR# MNAA5B8DAC.  There are currently no plans to fix the problem.

As a workaround, the ACL group document can be hidden to allow only the Lotus Administrators to see the document.  This will prevent end users from being able to select the group when addressing a message.  If the document is hidden, be sure to include the server in the list of allowable readers so that the group can be accessed for authentication purposes.
