Mac Gty: Removing Gateway Resources from Gateway Mail Server (140074)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks 3.1x

This article was previously published under Q140074

SUMMARY

When you remove the gateway resource from the Macintosh gateway mail server, the gateway recipients on the downstream Macintosh servers will also be removed. This will include addresses in personal address lists and groups. If the gateway resource is reinstalled, the same effect will be seen.

MORE INFORMATION

When you use the connection installer to remove and reinstall the gateway resource, the downstream Macintosh postoffices that use the access component extracted from the gateway will send their normal requests to the gateway server asking for gateway recipient updates. The gateway will respond by sending an empty list, even when the identical gateway id and name are used.

Though it is possible to restore the gateway recipient list, the personal lists and groups will need to be rebuilt.
