  • Microsoft Mail Gateway to MCI 3.0
This article was previously published under Q87057

SUMMARY

Mail being sent from MCI to a downstream postoffice is first picked up by the MCI gateway. The gateway looks at the TO: address of the mail message: if the mail is going to a downstream postoffice, the gateway puts the mail in that postoffice's queue, along with any other local mail going to the downstream postoffice.

The External program picks up mail items from the queue and transmits them to the downstream postoffice.
