Stage 17: Modem Connection Between Gateways

The recipient's Async Gateway sends the file through the modem connection to the Async
Gateway at the sender's GroupWise site. If the connection is terminated, the file waits in the
connection_ID directory until a new connection is established. The Async Gateway in the sender's
domain begins to receive the incoming message file. The gateway begins to build the message in
its input queue, compressed message directory:
domain\wpgate\async\gwin\connection_ID\cmp

Stage 18: Async Gateway in Sender's Domain

The message is fully received. The sender's Async Gateway decompresses the file and moves it
into the \gwin\connection_ID directory.

Stage 19: Async Gateway in Sender's Domain

The sender's Async Gateway moves the file from the \gwin\connection_ID directory into the
MTA input queue in the gateway directory structure:
domain\wpgate\async\wpcsin\0-7

Stage 20: MTA in Sender's Domain

The MTA in the sender's domain polls all its input queues in the domain as specified by Scan
Cycle in Agent Settings in ConsoleOne. When it detects a status message in its gateway input
queue, the MTA picks it up and transfers it to its output queue in the sender's post office. The MTA
output queue is the input queue for the POA in the sender's post office.

Stage 21: POA in Sender's Post Office

The POA in the sender's post office updates the sender's message database (msg 0-24.db file) with
the Delivered status information (and possibly Opened if the recipient has opened the message).

Stage 22: Sender

When the sender checks his or her Out Box in the GroupWise client, the message displays a status
of Delivered for each recipient (and possibly Opened if the recipient has opened the message).
