Avaya Modular Messaging Concepts and 
Planning Guide
6-3
The different interfaces of Modular Messaging, such as the telephone user 
interface (TUI) and the graphical user interfaces (GUIs) support different 
forms of addressing. All these addressing forms are effectively aliases of 
either the mailbox number or the e-mail address. Internally, Modular 
Messaging always delivers messages to an e-mail address and always 
identifies the sender with an e-mail address.
When Modular Messaging sends messages, such as those sent via 
SMTP/MIME networking or those sent by the Notify Me feature, the 
sender's name and the e-mail address of the sender's Modular Messaging 
mailbox appear in the 'from' field of the message. With Modular 
Messaging—Exchange and Modular Messaging—Domino, this name and 
address are the sender's corporate e-mail identity. With Modular 
Messaging—MSS, these are the name and e-mail address for the sender's 
Modular Messaging mailbox and, although the name might be the same 
as the sender's name for corporate e-mail, the address must be different. 
Although Outlook typically displays only names, the address is what is 
used when sending replies.
When sending messages to networked systems, and when sending 
notification e-mail messages, Modular Messaging uses the customer's 
e-mail infrastructure. With Modular Messaging—Exchange and Modular 
Messaging—Domino, these messages are sent as e-mails from the 
subscriber's e-mail mailbox. With Modular Messaging—MSS, these 
messages are sent as standard e-mail SMTP messages from the Modular 
Messaging system using the customer's TCP/IP network, but not 
necessarily using the customer's e-mail servers.
Other networking considerations for Modular Messaging—MSS
Other networking considerations for Modular Messaging—MSS systems 
are:
!
The e-mail address for a Modular Messaging subscriber mailbox 
by default includes the (internal) DNS name of the MSS server. 
This name can be replaced with an e-mail domain alias. For 
example, a default e-mail address of 
john.smith@mss.internaldomain.company.com can be replaced 
by john.smith@voicemail.company.com, where 
‘voicemail.company.com’ is an e-mail domain alias. Two or more 
Modular Messaging—MSS systems cannot currently be 
configured to share the same e-mail domain alias. 
!
Two Modular Messaging—MSS systems or a Modular 
Messaging—MSS and a Message Networking server network 
using SMTP and LDAP connections over the customer’s TCP/IP 
network. The domain names for the e-mail addresses for the 
remote subscribers must either be resolvable by DNS or be 
administered in the hosts file of each system (/etc/hosts).
