Description of why the Gateway PC needs the correct date and time in Microsoft Mail Gateway to IBM PROFS and OfficeVision (87203)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail Gateway to IBM PROFS and OfficeVision 3.0
This article was previously published under Q87203 SUMMARY
The LAN administrator of the Microsoft Mail Gateway to IBM PROFS and
OfficeVision must make sure that the gateway PC always has the correct
date/time, as this information is used to "stamp" every mail item
passing through the gateway.
For mail coming from the host to the LAN, this date/time stamp determines
where the item is displayed in your mailbag. For example, if a host mail
item was delivered to your mailbag, but it was date-stamped incorrectly,
it could end up at the bottom of your mailbag. If you have many items in
your mailbag, you may never see the new piece of host mail.
The same scenario is possible when sending a message from MS Mail to a
host user. The host user may not be aware of the receipt of a new PROFS
note or a new file in the Reader.
