When you enter a password for an external postoffice that is configured as
Direct Via modem, the password field will not accept non-alphanumeric
characters.
The password can be configured via the Config, Password option under
ADMIN.EXE to contain non-alphanumeric characters. If this occurs, it will
be impossible to connect directly to this postoffice via modem.
RESOLUTION
Change the postoffice password to only contain alphanumeric characters.
