The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows 3.2
This article was previously published under Q147471 SYMPTOMS
A mail message sent from the Version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail Remote for
Windows version 3.2 or 3.5 client, may result in a non-delivery message
similar to the following:
From: POSTMASTER
To: < sender of message >
Subject: Mail failure
Date: Thursday, May 23, 1996 3:22PM
FROM: < sender of message >
TO: < recipient of message >
DATE: 23-05-96
TIME: 15:22
SUBJECT: < subject of message >
----------------------------------------------------------------
[003] Message hop count exceeded. Message followed the following route:
NETCAD/HBPO01
NETCAD/BUPO01
NETGRI1/RH02
NETGRI1/IH01
NETSIS/WO01
NETSIS/EUO01
NETSIS/HUB02
NETUFE/HUB01
NETUFE/HUB03
NETUDI/UDIPO1
while attempting to send to the following addresses:
<net>/<po>/<mailbox> CAUSE
The non-delivery report is generated when the number of hops reaches ten,
regardless of the hop count setting as configured in the Admin program. The
Remote Windows client does not pick up the administrator set hop count from
the postoffice. The client inserts a hop count of ten in all messages.
