Using the Mail Facility › Overview

Overview

This chapter describes how to use the Mail facility, which allows CA TPX users to send messages to other users. Typically, these messages appear on the user's terminal when the user presses an AID key. If your site is authorized for the MAIL file, you can also send messages directly to users' mailboxes, so that users can review the message the next time they check their mailbox. You can also maintain userlists to easily send messages to specific groups of users.

With the mail facility, you can specify message recipients not only by user IDs, but through a wide variety of methods, such as users of a specific application, or terminal, or session, and so on.
