- With WfWG you can only pass messages within your own WorkGroup. You can only
- see your WorkGroup Post Office (WGPO). In order to send mail to other Work-
- Groups you must upgrade the WGPO to the full Mail V3.0 product. This product
- also has the ability to exchange mail with other messaging systems through
- gateways, ie Internet/SMTP, IBM/PROFS/SNADS, Novell/MHS and X.400.
-
- This info is in the Mail User's Guide supplied with WfWG.
