Chapter 10. Installing and Configuring the GroupWise Internet Agent

The GroupWise mail format is a proprietary format; although GroupWise supports many open standards, it is not an open system. Due to its proprietary format, translation is required in order to communicate with other systems.

The GroupWise Internet Agent is the most popular translator for GroupWise, because it allows GroupWise users to send email messages to recipients via the Internet. It does much more than that, however. It also provides access to the GroupWise system by supporting five different open-standard protocols.

This chapter looks at the architecture of the GroupWise Internet Agent and the protocols it supports. It also explores the installation, configuration, and operation of the GroupWise Internet Agent, otherwise known as the GWIA.
