Remarks

If the remote process subsequently exits or the mailbox is closed, a subsequent attempt to retrieve a message through this mailbox will cause an {@link Exit Exit} exception to be raised. Similarly, if the sending mailbox is closed, the linked mailbox or process will receive an exit signal. If the remote process cannot be reached in order to set the link, the exception is raised immediately.
