NEC 750370 manual Message Group Definitions

Issue 3 EliteMail VMS/EliteMail Limited

If a group member listens to only the beginning of the message then saves the message as new, the system does not mark the message as received. Other group members may still retrieve the message until one of the group members listens to the entire message.

For example, the manager of a customer service department might set up a group with dispatch distribution that contains all the department service representatives. The manager could send any message about a customer problem to this group. The manager does not care which representative gets the message and handles the problem, as long as someone in the department does. With dispatch distribution, the manager can ensure that one person in the group gets the message, without requiring everyone in the group to listen to it.
