PC Adm: .XTN File for Downstream PO Not Updated Correctly (117199)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 3.0
- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 3.2
This article was previously published under Q117199 SYMPTOMS
The Microsoft Mail Administrator program (ADMIN.EXE) for versions 3.0 and
3.2 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks does not correctly update the .XTN
file for a downstream postoffice when the routing definition for the hub
postoffice is modified. This can result in mail being queued for the
downstream postoffice but not delivered.
CAUSE
This problem occurs on a postoffice that has at least two externally
defined postoffices. The first externally defined postoffice is defined
direct via modem. The second external postoffice is defined indirect via
the first postoffice. When you use the Mail Administrator program to change
the routing of the first postoffice from direct via modem to direct via
MS-DOS (or X.25), the second postoffice definition will not change as
expected. Therefore, the second externally defined postoffice will still
show as being defined via modem.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, use the Mail Administrator program to modify
the settings for the second postoffice. Simply accepting the defaults
displayed during the modify process will fix the external definition for
the problem postoffice.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in versions 3.0 and 3.2 of
Microsoft Mail for PC Networks. This problem was corrected in version 3.2a.
