Chapter 13: Whois Server
The Whois server lets a Whois client look up information about IMail Server users. Whois information can include the user's full name, mailing address, telephone number, and a network mailbox. When the Whois server receives a lookup request about a particular user, it will send the information about the user that it finds in the IMail database.
As a Windows NT service, the Whois service can run completely hidden or with some feedback. The Whois server continues to run when you log off the Windows NT system.
