System management operations are primarily concerned with retrieving

messages from the General Mailbox.

The General Mailbox handles overflow fax messages. Overflow indicates that

the subscriber’s mailbox is either too small, or is not being emptied out on a

regular basis. The General Mailbox Service Administrator is responsible for

delivering messages to the appropriate subscriber and deleting them from the
General Mailbox.

The General Mailbox funtions like any other mailbox. To collect the messages

left in the General Mailbox, log in as 9999.

To reduce the risk of unauthorized access, AT&T has changed the default

password for the General mailbox (extension 9999) to the # sign. The # sign
prevents anyone from accessing the mailbox.

If you choose to enable the General mailbox during administration, you must

specify a password for this mailbox or it WiII be inaccessible.
