Profiles
A profile is a set of records describing a correspondent or interest group. Every depot
has a TRANSFER profile that contains identifying data, such as the password and
operating environment parameters for the correspondent or group. The profile also
indicates the privileges of the correspondent or group member.
Every depot has a mail profile that contains information related to the PS MAIL
application that the correspondent or group member uses.
User-written applications can add their own configuration data to profiles. Additional
profiles can be implemented to provide special package handling or installation-defined
functions.
