This simplifies message addressing by enabling your users to select the othersystem’s users from the Address Book. Otherwise, your users are required to enter the recipient’sfull address (userID.post_office.domain or user@host).IMPORTANT: The External System Synchronization feature exists in GroupWise 5.x, 6.x, and 7.x.Therefore, you can use it to synchronize information between 5.x, 6.x, and 7.x systems. You cannotuse it to synchronize information with GroupWise 4.x or 3.x systems.External System Synchronization lets you control what information (domains, post offices, users,resources, and distribution lists) you send to the external system and what information you want toaccept from the external system.
