The non-profit organization I am working at is using CiviCRM as a contacts and donor management system and loving it. So far everything is working out great for the most part but I have two questions:

Is there a way to turn off or limit users from viewing the Activities tab on a record? Our organization does not want everyone in the company being able to view the contributions shown in the Activities tab under Activity History for each record. Only certain people will have that privilege, for instance the CFO.

The second question has to deal with CiviMail. We're using exchange for our e-mail server, and it doesn't recognize VERP. If I set up a catch-all mailbox, will the CiviMail work as it should be? At the moment I edited the code to make the tokens point to a specific e-mail address and not use any VERP, but I'd like to get the VERP part of it working.

Thanks.

I’m not sure I understand the issue here. You have to route incoming emails to CiviMail (or, more precisely, CiviCRM’s SOAP interface) in some way, but it’s up to you whether you’ll use your SMTP inbound server + VERPs + AMaViS for this, a catch-all address + imap2soap or something else.
