GroupWise Client to Async Gateway Message Delivery
In Remote mode, the GroupWise Windows client gives users the ability to access their mailboxes when working away from the main GroupWise system. Each remote GroupWise user has a Master Mailbox (on the network) and a Remote mailbox. Any work performed in Remote mode is done offline by the user in his or her remote mailbox, then later exchanged with his or her Master Mailbox at home. Communication is enabled through the Async Gateway and a modem connection.
This diagram of the message delivery between a user using the GroupWise Windows client in Remote mode and his or her Master Mailbox shows the GroupWise components involved in the process.
Process 1: Remote User Sends Message
The remote GroupWise user creates a message using the GroupWise Windows client in Remote mode.
Process 2: GroupWise Client Initiates Modem Connection
The remote GroupWise user initiates a connection to the Async Gateway in the recipient's GroupWise domain.
Process 3: Async Gateway Transfers Message
The Async Gateway in the sender's domain transfers the message through a configured modem and phone line connection to the receiving Async Gateway located in the recipient's domain.
Process 4: MTA Delivers Message
The MTA delivers the message to the recipient's MTA if the recipient is located in a different domain, or to the POA if the recipient is located in the same domain as the Async Gateway.
Process 5: POA Updates Master Mailbox
The POA updates the sender's Master Mailbox and the recipient's mailbox.
Process 6: POA Generates Message Status
The POA generates a Delivered status message and queues it to the MTA.
