MORE INFORMATION
================

When participating in Dir-Sync, the Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks'
server acts as a foreign Dir-Sync requester via the Connection Name Utility
(CNU) component of the version 3.2 of Mail Connection Gateway. If the Network
Manager generates an import request message via the Connection Name Utility, the
Dir-Sync transaction information will include:

  From: Network Manager
  To: NETWORK/POSTOFFICE/$SYSTEM
  Subject: Directory Exchange Profile
  Date: 1994-04-04 09:12
  Priority:
  -----------------------------------------------------------
  [DIRSYNC]
  TASK=IMPORTREQ
  NAME=PCM:MACNET/MACPO
  TYPES=PCM|CSI|profs
  TEMPLATE=NO
  SRVSEQ=0000000644
  TRANSACTIONS=INATTACHMENT

Notice: Under the [DIRSYNC] section of this transaction, the TEMPLATE setting is
TEMPLATE=NO.

The Dir-Sync server will respond to the import request by sending a mail message
to the Network Manager's inbox. Attached to this mail message will be a
TMPTRANS.GLB file which contains the Mail for PC Networks' user names and
address detail.

[DIRSYNC-TRANSACTIONS]
0000000645 User Number 1                    PCM:NETWORK/POSTOFFICE/USER1
- Phone:/(206) 635-7022
- FAX:/(206) 635-7022
0000000647 User Number 2                    PCM:NETWORK/POSTOFFICE/USER2
- Phone:/(206) 635-7022
- FAX:/(206) 635-7022

NOTE: For this instance, the Dir-Sync server responded to the CNU generated
import request (that specified TEMPLATE=NO) with a TMPTRANS.GLB file containing
template information.
