The numbers in the Microware Mail Mail.sys file are the user numbers from the
password file, do not enter the group numbers from the password file.

This way the same user (.uu) with always get their mail no matter what group
they are logged in as. Put another way, each user on the system should always
have a unique user number (.uu) but may appear in a number of groups (gg1.uu,
gg2.uu, etc.).

The mail system has no way of dealing with the group numbers as assigned in the
password file.

You can set up groups (lists) for mailing purposes ONLY in the mail.sys file,
this is documented in that file.



This might be easier to explain via voice?
