MORE INFORMATION
This registration is made by the Microsoft Mail client. The registration
is made to be able to detect when new mail has arrived for the client
without having to check the mailbag file. This behavior can be controlled
by the NetBIOS=number setting in the MSMAIL.INI file.
A setting of 1 (the default for Windows networks) allows for NetBIOS
notification and causes the Mail client to register the name. A setting of
0 turns off NetBIOS notification and the Mail client will not register the
name.
The NetBIOS name that is registered is a combination of the post office
serial number and the computer name.
For more information about the NetBIOS parameter, see page 55 of the MS
Mail 3.5 "Administrator's Guide."
