Mail Locators

Mail locators create an association between a mail message text and the users who have that message in their mailbox. The message text exists once, but has a mail locator for each user's mailbox that contains the message. The mail locators are maintained in the VSAM file named MAIL. Mail messages are also maintained in that file.

Mail locators can be extracted and deleted using the batch administration facility. For information on performing mail functions with the batch facility, see the Batch Administration Guide.
