Changing subscribers from a file

Message Networking allows you to perform bulk changes to subscribers.

Before you can bulk change subscribers, you must send the files you want to use for the bulk change procedure to a subdirectory by using FTP. For information on subdirectories, see Message Networking file names for FTP.

Message Networking supports an ASCII file format containing one line for each subscriber in the following format:

remote machine name|mailbox ID|name|community ID|namenet ID|user ID|domain|language ID
for example:
internet|7325551212||2||||1

Notes:

• The name, community ID, and language ID are optional.
• The user ID and email domain are optional for non-SMTP subscribers. The user ID defaults to the network address; the email domain defaults to the Message Networking domain.
• The language ID defaults to US English.
• The community ID defaults to the default community ID administered for the end node.
• Name defaults to a dummy name: 1 xxxx network address.
