Simplifying Addressing

Even though GroupWise users can connect fairly easily with users in other GroupWise systems
through the Async Gateway, a simple addressing syntax can make the connection even more
convenient and less confusing. You can simplify the Async Gateway addressing syntax in a
number of ways.
The simplification method you use depends on your network situation and the needs of your
GroupWise users. Make sure you notify the GroupWise users when you decide on a method and
syntax. Of course, none of these methods are necessary if you are using the Async Gateway to
connect to remote GroupWise users. A GroupWise Windows client user in Remote mode has the
same GroupWise Address Book as in the Master Mailbox. See
Client Users in Remote Mode" on page

Addressing Concepts

The term "address syntax" refers to the address elements that a GroupWise user provides in the
GroupWise client to send a message to another GroupWise user. GroupWise depends on three
necessary elements in the address for sending messages: the domain name, the post office or
gateway name, and the object ID. If all three elements are legitimate GroupWise objects and
proper links are made between domains, GroupWise replicates this information to every post
office database in each of its domains. The information is stored in the GroupWise Address Book.
In the Gateway Access field, assign a name to the user.
Use the following syntax:
gateway_alias_type.direction
The BLOCK and ALLOW keywords cannot be used in the Gateway Access field. To use these
