In Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, versions 2.1 and 3.0, when you use the
External Mail program (EXTERNAL.EXE) to connect dynamically to Novell
NetWare 3.11 servers, you may see the following error message in the
SESSION.LOG file for each or some of the dynamically configured
postoffices:

This error occurs when you create logs using EXTERNAL.EXE by using the
command-line options -V, -Q1, and -L.
