The following enhancements have been added since the previous major release of the Exchange Gateway:

  • The Exchange Gateway has been updated to match GroupWise 6. x and 7. x functionality in several areas, including the ConsoleOne® snap-ins.

  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 and 2003 are supported in addition to Exchange 5.5. x.

  • The Exchange Gateway can run as a Windows* service as well as an application.

  • You can configure TCP/IP links between the Exchange Gateway and the MTA

  • Busy Search works for both GroupWise users and Exchange users with Exchange 2000/2003

  • Internet-style addressing is supported.

  • SNMP is supported, so that the Exchange Gateway can be monitored from SNMP management and monitoring programs.

  • A Web console is provided, so that the Exchange Gateway can be monitored from any location where you have access to a Web browser and the Internet.

  • Some Great new startup switches:
  • /displaynamelastfirst Formats the names of GroupWise users as LastName, FirstName in the Exchange Address Book. The default is FirstName LastName
  • /noreadreceipt Suppresses the prompt for sending Outlook read receipts for GroupWise messages, while allowing the read receipt feature in Outlook to work normally for non-GroupWise messages.
