An MHS Host is a microcomputer running the Message Handling Service (MHS) software. The host itself can be a standalone computer or, more commonly, a LAN workstation.

There are three main components of MHS:
 * The Directory Manager
 * The Connectivity Manager
 * The Transport Server

The following are descriptions of each of the main components listed above:   Component              Description -             ---

Directory Manager     Administrators use the Directory Manager to                          define the MHS database and manage software applications that use MHS. The database itself is a directory structure containing routes to                         users, hosts, and workgroups. This routing information is called the routing table.

Connectivity Manager  This part of MHS routes messages within the database.

Transport Server      The Transport Server transfers the routed messages between MHS hosts.
