The Netdump tool displays information for all external postoffices and gateways defined on the given postoffice. The tool displays the network/postoffice names, the mailbag (.mgb) file for the external postoffice, whether the postoffice is routed indirectly via another postoffice, the definition (.xtn) file where the external postoffice is located, and the connection type (LAN, modem, or X.25) for the postoffice.
For gateways, the Netdump tool displays the following:
The current version of Netdump recognizes the PROFS, SNADS, MCI, X.400, MSMAIL (Mail Connection), FAX, SMTP, AT&T, MHS, and FFAPI gateways.
Use this program to display the external postoffice and the gateway routing and definition information.
There are no side effects to using this tool, because it is read-only.
