X400: -BR option and Non-zero Restart Interval Cause ERROR 0 (115354)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 3.2
This article was previously published under Q115354 SUMMARY
Running the gateway with a -BR option in combination with a non-zero
restart interval can cause an "ERROR 0" (MTA control program).
As a rule, error codes should NOT be 0. For instance, the "Administrator's
Guide" says 0 means "successful result," implying that such a reported
state cannot be an error because it is successful.
This usage in gateway, however, is consistent because the -BR option
overrides the restart interval (the -BT and -BD options do not). If the
restart interval is non-zero, a warning message is sent to the log file
with a non-zero error code.
During a restart, all gateway parameters are preserved. The -BT and -BD
options work as most users expect after a restart because their values are
absolute--they do not depend on the gateway start time. The -BR option is
different: because it is the only -Bx option with a value relative to the
gateway start (or restart) time, it is the only -Bx option that requires
the restart interval to be reset to 0.
