Defining User Sets

Administrators can define groups of mailboxes called user sets. User sets allow you to activate ContinuityA feature provided by GFI OneConnect that queues the emails sent and received in a Data Center and ensures that your organization can keep the mail flow even when the email infrastructure is down. or apply other GFI OneConnect features to a designated group of users. For example, if you anticipate certain groups of users are likely to be activated separately (such as system administrators for tests), you can define a user set for them. Defining user sets specifically for testing allows for performance of regular system tests without activating all users and without taking down primary services.

NOTE
