SUMMARY
Here is a description of the actions the Microsoft Mail Gateway to 3Com 3+Mail performs during the cycle of checking for mail messages:


 * 1) The gateway checks the 3Com 3+Mail database for mail addressed to the _GATEWAY user.
 * 2) If mail is found, the gateway transfers the mail items to the MFFPUT directory.
 * 3) The gateway processes each item in the MFFPUT directory, building an FFAPI compatible file.
 * 4) The gateway spawns COURPUT.EXE to submit files to the mail database.
 * 5) The gateway checks the Microsoft Mail database for mail to 3Com 3+Mail.
 * 6) COURGET.EXE is spawned. Mail items are extracted from the mailbag and put into MFFGET directory.
 * 7) The items are processed and put into the mailbags of users in the 3+Mail database.
