11.2.4 Choosing the Post Office Name

The post office must be given a unique name. The name is used for addressing and routing purposes
within GroupWise, and might appear in the GroupWise Address Book.
The post office name can reflect a location, organization, department, and so on. For example, you
might want the domain name to be the location (for example, Provo) while the post office name is
one of the company's departments (for example, Research). Name the new post office carefully.
After it is created, the name cannot be changed.
The post office name should consist of a single string. Use underscores (_) rather than spaces as
separators between words to facilitate addressing across the Internet. Do not use any of the
following invalid characters in the post office name:
ASCII characters 0-13
Asterisk *
At sign @
