When you send an e-mail message from Windows Messaging you receive a reply
e-mail message from System Administrator with a subject line starting with
"Undeliverable:" and a message body consisting of the following error.
Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.
Subject: Test Email Message
Sent: 11/17/96 4:47:27 PM
The following recipient(s) could not be reached:
EmailUser on 11/17/96 4:47:29 PM
Mail could not be delivered due to a problem with the
postoffice. Contact your administrator.
At the top of the opened e-mail message there is a Send Again button;
however, sending the original e-mail message again only results in the same
response from System Administrator.
CAUSE
The share permissions or directory permissions on the postoffice are not
set to allow full control to the user or group to which the user belongs
who is sending the email message.
RESOLUTION
Set the share and directory permissions such that all users who need access
to the postoffice directory are allowed full control to both the share and
the postoffice directory and subdirectories.
