This article was previously published under Q58556 SUMMARY
IMPORTANT: All Microsoft Mail version 2.00 customers who have gateways
installed should be using the "MS Mail GW" file version 2.00b and the
"Microsoft Mail Server" file version 2.00b, both of which are located
in the System Folder of the Mail server. An updated "MS Mail GW" file
is available through Microsoft End User Sales and Service at (800)
426-9400 or Microsoft Customer Service at (206) 936-8661, but ONLY for
customers using the AppleLink Gateway to Microsoft Mail. Customers
using other gateways must obtain an updated "MS Mail GW" file from the
developer of the gateway they are using. The Microsoft Mail server
upgrade can also be obtained at the above numbers.
Gateway servers are created by using the Gateway Installer program to
install the gateway resources in the data file of a Microsoft Mail
server. The gateway server is the Mail server that has the physical
connection to the external mail service (or any other service such as
the stock exchange to receive stock quotes). In the case of the
AppleLink gateway, the gateway server has the modem, which is used to
connect to the AppleLink host, connected to the modem port.
Mail users registered on the gateway server have access to the
gateway. When a user on a gateway server sends a message to a
recipient on the external service, the Mail server passes information
about the Mail message to the gateway. The gateway then forwards the
mail message to the external service.
Please note that the sending of gateway messages is based on gateway
accounts defined, if any, and scheduled connect times.
