X400: Effect of Dir-Sync on Gateway Address Lists (86981)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 3.0

This article was previously published under Q86981

SUMMARY

Directory synchronization (Dir-Sync) is a new feature in version 3.0 Microsoft Mail for PC Networks. Directory synchronization allows user lists to be propagated among Microsoft Mail systems.

Dir-Sync works between Microsoft Mail systems that are using version 3.0 of the Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 as the backbone. When the Microsoft Mail External postoffice is defined in the EXTERNAL-ADMIN section of the Mail Administrator program as being indirect via the X.400 gateway, the mail system tries to export the user lists to the other postoffice.

You must perform the normal setup procedures for defining the routing and addressing information for the gateway before the file transfer can be successful.
