MHS: Err Msg: Gateway Doesn't Support Gateway "{}" Originators (128431)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail Gateway to MHS 3.0
This article was previously published under Q128431 SYMPTOMS
When you send mail from Microsoft Mail for PC Networks through the MHS
gateway to CompuServe and then on to the Internet, the following error
appears:
The message you sent on <date> <time> could not be delivered to:
mail @ cserve {internet:<userid>@<site>},
The MHS gateway does not support gateway "{}" originators.
CAUSE
The CompuServe to Internet gateway does not support curly braces ({}). When
you send a message from MHS through CompuServe to the Internet, the
CSERVE/Internet gateway tries to build a return address. The gateway cannot
build the return address because the Microsoft Mail addresses are in the
following format:
<user>@MSMail {<network>/<postoffice>/<user>}
RESOLUTION
If you have a single postoffice, you can use simple addressing, which
allows you to send mail to <user>@MSMail. To configure the gateway for
simple addressing, add the -SF switch to the gateway command line. This
command-line option is configured within the MHS administrator program
(MHS.EXE for version 1.5, and NGMADM for NGM). You should still send
outgoing mail using the same addressing; for example, [MHS:MAIL@CSERVE
{INTERNET:<USERID>@<SITE>}. Simple addressing does not work for downstream
postoffices.
MORE INFORMATION
If you have multiple postoffices, the only solution is to purchase multiple
copies of the gateway and set up each postoffice as a gateway postoffice.
