WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO FIRST?
------------------
This patch is designed to upgrade SMTP version 1.20
to SMTP version 1.21. If you have an NGMSMTP.NLM
dated before '1-17-96', this upgrade procedure will not
work. To determine your current SMTP version, type 'MODULES'
at the server console prompt and verify that the version
number for 'NGMSMTP.NLM' is 1.20. If you have received any
patch release releases, 1.20 beta releases or special
SMTP releases, you will need to contact your local Novell
representative to receive instructions on how to upgrade
your system. This patch process will not change the version
number of SMTP as it is reported from within NetWare's
INSTALL/PRODUCT OPTIONS listing. INSTALL will continue to
display the original SMTP version number. For information on installing
1.20, refer to your "NetWare Global Messaging SMTP Protocol Module
Administrator's Guide", part number 100-003508-001.

1. README.TXT (This file)
2. NGMSMTP.NLM
5. Copy the patch (SMT121.EXE) to the NGM server and extract the patch.
6. In the .\NGM\BIN directory, rename NGMSMTP.NLM to NGMSMTP.OLD. Then copy the
new NGMSMTP.NLM into the .\NGM\BIN directory.
7. Copy the new README.TXT file to the .\NGM\SMTP directory.
8. If you want to undo your upgrade and return your installation to its previous state, perform the
following procedure.
o To restore your system, unload NGMSMTP.NLM, verify that in the .\NGM\BIN directory
there is a file call NGMSMTP.OLD, if there is, delete NGMSMTP.NLM and rename
NGMSMTP.OLD to NGMSMTP.NLM. Then reload NGMSMTP.NLM.
o Verify the original files have been correctly re-installed.
This upgrade provides the following fixes and enhancements:
* Fixes invalid user protocol alias causing 554 error.
* Correctly decodes MIME attachments.
* Stops NULL and BELL characters from locking port 25 and stopping mail flow.
* Fixes messages coming from a user via a list server causing an ABEND.
* Fixes Alaska time zone issues.
* In ngmadmin, this server, edit configuration file, under the ngmsmpt heading, when SMTP-
Outbound-Format=MIME-UUE is defined, the X-UUE header was changed to X-
UUENCODE for compatibility with the GroupWise gateway.
The following item was not fixed:
* There are some source routing issues not fixed in this release. (When a user tries to send a
message using source routing, ngmsmtp puts #'s in the return address. When someone tries
to reply to one of these messages, ngmsmtp fails)

platforms, in addition to industry-standard communication and Messaging protocols. It provides

developers through the use of industry-standard and GroupWise-specific APIs. Some of these
Messaging APIs include MAPI, CMC/CSA, and SMF-71 through the GroupWise MHS Services
Adapter. By leveraging single-point administration through its master directory, Novell
Directory Services (NDS), GroupWise also allows network administrators to centrally and
hierarchically manage users, groups, network devices and applications.
