CONN: Traffic Is Suspended During Address Import/Export (109257)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Mail Connection for PC and AppleTalk Networks 3.2

This article was previously published under Q109257

SUMMARY

Version 3.2 of the Microsoft Mail Connection for PC and AppleTalk Networks temporarily suspends gateway message delivery while the Connection Name Utility (CNU) performs directory import or export tasks. Normal message delivery resumes after the CNU completes its directory exchange tasks.

The CNU scans the Network Manager[ASCII 146]s mailbox for directory exchange messages and processes them. It does this upon initial startup of the CNU, and at the directory synchronization (Dir-Sync) T3 time defined in the CNU configuration screen.

Large directory import or export requests may take the CNU several hours to process. These directory exchange tasks should be performed at off-peak hours to minimize the delayed delivery of gateway messages.
