PC Adm: Requestor Name of MSMAIL Appears Corrupt (113071)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 3.2
This article was previously published under Q113071 SYMPTOMS
When you add requestors with version 3.2, 3.2.2, or 3.2.3 of the Mail
Administrator program (ADMIN.EXE) and you select MSGATE, the name of the
requestor will appear unreadable. This is not the expected behavior and was
not true in earlier versions of the Administrator program.
CAUSE
The MSMAIL Macintosh gateway does not need to be defined as a requestor.
Macintosh names and types can still be used and propagated through
directory synchronization (Dir-Sync) without MSMAIL as a requestor. How
propagation occurs depends on the version of Microsoft Mail Connection for
PC and AppleTalk Networks in use.
MORE INFORMATION
With version 1.0b of the Mail Connection gateway, names could be placed
manually into the Dir-Sync stream by using the IMPORT.EXE -E option.
Requestors that requested MSMAIL addresses would then be sent these
transactions during the Dir-Sync cycle.
With version 3.2 of the Mail Connection gateway, the proxy NET/PO name
should be used for the MSMAIL requestor. The gateway uses this proxy name
to communicate transactions to and from the Dir-Sync process.
