9.2HOW THE DISTRIBUTION LIST TABLE IS USED

This section describes how the DISTRiBUTION LIST Table is used for Distribution Lists and

Extended Mailboxes

DlstributJon Llsts

When a message is addressed to a Distribution

List number, the

lb&.&a

 

 

VP System checks the DISTRIBUTION LIST Table for the member

 

 

mailboxes. A message header is supplied to each of the mailboxes.

 

 

When the message is listened to, the header tells the system where that

 

 

message is stored. The message is not sent to the creator of the

 

 

 

message, even if their mailbox is listed as a member ma&ox.

 

 

 

A Distribution List is addressed by its pilot number. The pilot number

 

 

must fim be created in the USER Table as a mailbox with no extension.

 

 

Once a mailbox is converted into a Distribution List, it cannot be logged

 

 

onto, and it cannot receive individual or broadcast messages; it only

 

 

serves as the Distribution List’s address. Each mailbox included in the

 

 

list must also already exist in the USER Table or be a valid network

 

 

address

 

 

 

 

 

 

After

recording, during the addressing options,

use a Distribution

List

vi;

 

pilot

number

in the

same way as a normal mailbox address. Multiple

$%

 

appearances

of the

same mail& address are treated as one appearance.

.::

 

 

Only one message is sent to the mailbox, no matter how many times it is listed in a Distribution List.

tU When a Return Receipt message is requested for a message sent to a Distribution List, a message is sent back from each member of the list. Depending upon the size of the list, more messages may be received than can be stored in a normal mailt~~,

For Multiple-Cabinet and Multl-Location Network Systems

A network mailbox, defined as a regular mailbox number preceded by a Network Location Code, may actually be a Distribution List number on the destination system. The destination system would deliver the message to all mailboxes on that list.

Extended Mailboxes The maximum number of messages per mailbox is 32 When a mailbox is configured as an Extended Mailbox, excessmessages, over the maximum limit of 32 are placed in the next member mailbox

Lf messages are erased from the pilot mailbox, new messages are placed in the pilot mailbox before being placed in any member mailbox. If someone is logged ON to the pilot mailbox and the mailbox is not full, merges are queued to the pilot mailbox. The queued messages are then delivered to the pilot mailbox after it has been logged OFF.

In high traffic applications, assign COS Attribute 71 - TRANSCRFIION

MAllBOX, to the pilot mailbox so that all messages are placed immediately / in a member mailbox.
