We don’t have anything off the shelf that does this, but I suspect it wouldn’t be too difficult to write.

You would access the Frequent Contact address book via the GroupWise.Account.FrequentContacts property, which would give you access to an AddressBook object. You would then run through all the entries in the book, removing the ‘internet:’ component from the email address field. See Novell’s Object API documentation for details.

This applet would need to be run on each workstation. Alternatively, you could create a Trusted Application applet that could access each mailbox from a central location. See the Language and Developers Guides for more information.

I hope this helps.
