PMDF System Manager's Guide
Chapter 38
PMDF-LAN
This chapter contains both introductory material, which applies to the
PMDF PC gateway channels except the Lotus Notes channel (which
has a different design and is discussed separately) constituting the
PMDF-LAN product, and specific descriptions of the following PC gateway
channels:
- the cc:Mail gateway channel,
- the Lotus Notes gateway channel,
- the Microsoft Mail gateway channel,
- the Novell MHS gateway channel, and
- the WordPerfect Office gateway channel (aka GroupWise).
Throughout much of this chapter, the gateway channels are simply
referred to as channels. The adjective gateway in gateway channel
emphasizes that the channel performs gateway functionality: the channel
actually converts messages passing through it back and forth between
two different --- often very different --- messaging formats and thus
acts as a gateway between two different messaging worlds.
