3. For additional information about downloading, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following (pressing ENTER after each line)
   
   

         copy <path>:\external.exe <destination>
         copy <path>:\*.ovl <destination>

   
   
   where <path> is the drive and directory where you ran the self- extracting EXTUPD.EXE file and <destination> is the drive and directory where your EXTERNAL.EXE and *.OVL files currently reside. For example, if you ran the self-extracting file from the TEST directory on drive D, and your EXTERNAL.EXE and *.OVL files are located in the MAILEXE directory on drive C, type the following commands:
   
   

         copy d:\test\external.exe c:\mailexe
         copy d:\test\*.ovl c:\mailexe

   
   
   NOTE: The EXTERNAL.EXE and *.OVL files typically reside on the postoffice server in the Mail executables directory, as well as on the machine transferring messages to and from the database. Make sure you update all copies of the EXTERNAL.EXE and *.OVL files.

NOTE: When operating a message transfer agent on Windows NT, Microsoft recommends that you use the Windows Mail 3.5 Multitasking Message Transfer agent. Microsoft does not endorse the use of the MS-DOS Message Transfer Agent on Windows NT.
