Data Model

(See Serialization)

Distribution List

Operations:

This model extends Mailbox.

Field Name Data Type Verbs Description
Description String GET, POST, PUT A user-defined description of the list.
MemberCount Integer GET A number of members currently assigned to this list.
PrimarySmtpAddress String GET The external email address for this list.
EmailAddresses Email Address Array POST, PUT See examples below.
Members Members Object POST, PUT See examples below.
ManagedBy Managers Object POST, PUT See examples below.
AcceptMessagesOnlyFrom Senders Object POST, PUT See examples below.

Email Addresses

Field Name Data Type Verbs Description
Action String PUT Must be 'Add', 'Update' or 'Remove'
AddressPrimary Boolean GET, PUT True if this is the primary email address. Only one email address can be primary
AddressProtocol String GET, POST, PUT Must be 'smtp' or 'x500'. The primary email address must be 'smtp'
Value String GET, POST, PUT The email address, including the domain (See example below)

When creating a new mailbox you are allowed to configure alternate email addresses, however there are a few special considerations

Allowed Domains

  • Primary Domain (specified in the url)
  • Accepted Domains

Domain Aliases

  • Each email address entry using the primary domain will result in a corresponding entry for each domain alias
    • Example: Adding myalternate@primary.com will also add an entry for myalternate@alias1.com and myalternate@alias2.com
    • Example: Removing myalternate@primary.com will also remove myalternate@alias1.com and myalternate@alias2.com
  • Domain alias entries cannot be independently added or removed

Common Name Email Address

  • The common name email address is the mailbox name and domain used in the url
  • The common name email address cannot be removed

AddressPrimary (Reply-To)

  • The primary address is automatically set based on the supplied CommonName when the mailbox is added
    • An entry for CommonName@PrimaryDomain will be added to the email address list with AddressPrimary set to 'true'
  • The primary address can be changed after the mailbox is created
  • Changing the primary address does not change the name of the mailbox
  • Deleting the primary address without setting another address as the primary address will result in the common name email address being reset as the primary address

Members

Field Name Data Type Description
Recipients Recipient Array Array of Recipient (see below).

Managers

Field Name Data Type Description
Recipients Recipient Array Array of Recipient (see below).

Senders

Field Name Data Type Description
All String Must be 'restricted' or 'public'. In order to add specific recipients, this must be 'restricted'.
Recipients Recipient Array Array of Recipient (see below).

Recipient

Field Name Data Type Verbs Description
