Addressing Messages

The following sections provide information about the address syntax required for GroupWise^® users to send and receive Internet messages. The syntax assumes that you have done no additional configuration of your GroupWise system to simplify addressing. If, after reviewing the information below, you decide that you want to simplify addressing, you have the following options:

• Enable your GroupWise system to use an Internet-style address format (user@host) rather than the standard GroupWise address format (user_ID.post_office.domain). This is the recommended configuration. For details, see Addressing in System.
• Add specific Internet sites (host names) and/or Internet users to your GroupWise system, or define addressing rules that enable the GroupWise system to recognize Internet-style addresses and route them to the Internet Agent. This can require much work on your part and is not the recommended configuration. For details, see Simplifying Addressing.
