Connector for Novell GroupWise converts messages from native Exchange message types to corresponding message types in GroupWise. The following table shows how mail items are converted between messaging systems.
Note Exchange prevents multiple messages from being sent to the same user. Multiple messages are sent when a user is listed more than once in the address fields of a message. For example, a user may be addressed directly, but may also be a member of a group that is sent the message. However, a GroupWise user receives duplicate messages in these instances.
