PROFS: How VM Addresses Are Converted to MS Mail Addresses (87207)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail Gateway to IBM PROFS and OfficeVision 3.0
This article was previously published under Q87207 SUMMARY
For mail sent from the host to the local-area network (LAN), the
conversion of VM addresses to Microsoft Mail addresses is done by the
Host Access component of the Microsoft Mail Gateway to IBM PROFS and
OfficeVision.
The addresses contained in a message or file delivered to the gateway
from the host are in this form:
Before the message is shipped to the LAN, the addresses are converted
to the standard MS Mail format:
Network/Postoffice/Mailbox
The Nodename is converted to a Network/Postoffice name by using the
mappings defined in the PWACSI DATA file on the gateway's 191 "A" disk.
The UserID is mapped directly to a Mailbox name.
Once the message is transferred by the gateway program (HostDisp or
VMGATE) to the gateway postoffice, it is distributed to the recipients
in the same way as regular LAN mail.
