This rule specifies whether the BlackBerry® device firewall prevents the BlackBerry device from processing specific types of
incoming messages, including SMS text messages, MMS messages, public and organization-specific PIN messages, and
BlackBerry® Internet Service messages.
Note:
You use the default PIN encryption key to send public PIN messages that are known to all BlackBerry devices. A BlackBerry
device with an organization-specific PIN encryption key can only send and receive organization-specific PIN messages with
other BlackBerry devices within your organization's network that use the same PIN encryption key.
Default value
The default value is a null value.
Usage
If you configure this rule, a BlackBerry device blocks the specified types of incoming messages at the firewall and does not notify
the user that those types of messages were received.
A user can specify whether to block public PIN messages on a BlackBerry device. A user cannot specify whether to block
organization-specific PIN messages on a BlackBerry device.
