• The
System Administrator can create "Mailbox Groups", which are similar to personal group
distribution lists except they can be used by other subscribers. For more information, consult
your System Administrator.
External Message Delivery
You
can send messages to outside parties and to extension users who do not have their own mailboxes. After
you record your message, the system will dial the appropriate telephone numbers and/or extension numbers,
and once the party on the other end answers the call, your recorded message will be played back. You can
specify message recipients by:
• Extension number
• Outside telephone number
• External Message Delivery List number (refer to "
External Message Delivery Lists")
Unlike recipients who have their own mailboxes, you have no way of knowing who may answer the call when
the Unified Messaging system sends an External Delivery Message. To protect the privacy of your messages,
you may assign a password that must be entered by the other party before your message is played back.
You can set Auto Receipt so that you will receive notification once the recipient has played back your message.
You can also send your message immediately or set a message delivery time. Finally, recipients of an External
Delivery Message can reply to your message, and can even set urgent and private message status.
• This feature must be enabled for your mailbox by the System Administrator or System
Manager.
