Message approval

This code sample retrieves the following message approval settings of a mail-enabled group:

Message moderation
Moderators
Senders who don't require message approval
Notifications to senders of unapproved messages

In the below code sample, the $groupParams variable represents Exchange properties of a mail-enabled group. To retrieve the properties, use the IAdmExchangeMailParametersOps::GetMailParameters method.

How

[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi")

# Connect to the Adaxes service
$ns = New-Object "Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi.AdmNamespace"
$service = $ns.GetServiceDirectly("localhost")

# Bind to the group
$groupDN = "CN=My Group,CN=Groups,DC=domain,DC=com"
$group = $service.OpenObject("Adaxes://$groupDN", $null, $null, 0)

# Get Exchange properties
$groupParams = $group.GetMailParameters()

# The $groupParams variable represents Exchange properties of a mail-enabled group

# Get message moderation settings
$messageModeration = $groupParams.MailFlowSettings.MessageModeration

# Moderation enabled
Write-Host "Messages sent to this group have to be approved by a moderator:" $messageModeration.ModerationEnabled

# Moderators
$moderators = $messageModeration.ModeratedBy

if ($moderators.Count -eq 0)

    {
        $object = $moderators.GetItem($i, [ref]"ADS_PROPERTY_NONE")
        Write-host "`t" $object.DisplayName
    }
}

# Senders who don't require message approval
$bypassModerationFrom = $messageModeration.BypassModerationFrom

if ($bypassModerationFrom.Count -eq 0)
{
    Write-Host "Senders who don't require message approval: None"
}
else

        Write-host "`t" $object.DisplayName
    }
}

# Notifications to senders of unapproved messages
$sendModerationNotificationType = $messageModeration.SendModerationNotificationType
