- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, versions 3.2 and 3.2a
SUMMARY
Microsoft provides a replacement for the SRVMAIN.EXE file that is included
with versions 3.2 and 3.2a of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks.
For complete information about obtaining and installing the SRVMAIN.EXE
file, see the following sections:
- To download the updated file
- To update your SRVMAIN.EXE file
MORE INFORMATION
IMPORTANT: When you update to SRVMAIN.EXE version 3.2.14, you need
to update ADMIN.EXE to version 3.2.13 or later (update included in
ADMUPD.EXE on the MSL) and LISTDS.EXE version 3.2.1 (included with this
update). You MUST also run SCONFIX.EXE (included with this update)
once. This is required for all users updating to SRVMAIN.EXE
version 3.2.14.
This replacement file includes the following modifications for version 3.2
of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks:
- The Import utility no longer stops responding (hangs) when it
processes RESYNC.GLB after doing heavy processing. This problem
occurred because the heap became corrupted when it was under a
heavy load.
NOTE: To resolve this problem, two .EXE files must be updated: the
SRVMAIN.EXE file (included in this update) and the IMPORT.EXE file
(update included in IMPUPD.EXE on the MSL).
- The SRVMAIN utility no longer does one-byte reads of the template
files.
- A Microsoft Mail Connection 3.2 PROXYNET\PROXYPO postoffice address
list is now propagated to a downstream requestor postoffice when
the gateway postoffice is also the directory server postoffice. The
Import utility now copies FFAPI postoffice address lists from the
directory server to the GLB\RESYNC.GLB file to perform a directory
synchronization manual import procedure.
NOTE: To resolve this problem, two .EXE files must be updated: the
SRVMAIN.EXE file (included with this update) and the IMPORT.EXE file
(update included in IMPUPD.EXE on the MSL).
This replacement file also includes the following modifications for version
3.2a:
- The directory synchronization (Dir-Sync) server now continues to
process updates when SRVMAIN.EXE encounters duplicate entries in the
system mailbag. Previously, under these conditions SRVMAIN.EXE would
quit without processing any additional updates in the system mailbag,
and the following entries would be added to the DIRSYNC.LOG file:
Error [115] Failure to read mail from NULL
Warning [8] Error deleting file: <Network>/<Postoffice>/$SYSTEM.
- Dir-Sync will no longer give error
Error 156 Invalid Dirsync password from PCM:Network/Postoffice
during the T2 cycle. Previously, even if the password for the
Requestor postoffice was correct, the password of a requestor
postoffice would be incorrectly compared against other requestor
postoffices listed in the SRVCONF.GLB. Specifically, this occurred when
postoffices were registered in a particular order, and the postoffice
names were similar to or part of other requestor postoffice names.
- If the DSSERVER.LOG on a requestor postoffice is corrupt for some
reason, the SRVMAIN -r process during Dir-Sync will no longer cause
a Trap D.
- When the Admin account mailbox is greater than eight characters in
length, the Keep Updates number will no longer change when you change
the Administrator's name in Config, DirSync, Server, Options.
IMPORTANT: This fix is specifically for users who have an
Administrator's mailbox name greater than eight characters, and who
want to receive Dir-Sync status messages.
To add the new Administrator's name, you need ADMIN.EXE version 3.2.13
or later. Run Admin, DirSync, Server, Options. Type in the desired
mailbox name. If necessary, re-enter the Keep Updates field. This
modified SRVMAIN requires a new LISTDS.EXE version 3.2.1 or later for
checking the SRVCONF.GLB file.
- If X.400 addresses are included in the very first Dir-Sync cycle,
Dir-Sync will no longer fail with a protection violation during the T2
cycle of the SRVMAIN process.

Services
After you download SRVUPD.EXE to a clean directory, run it (by typing
"srvupd" at the MS-DOS command prompt) to extract the contents of the
file. You should receive the following files:
SRVMAIN.EXE (163,941 bytes, dated 02-07-95, 11:33 A.M.)
SCONFIX.EXE ( 6,887 bytes, dated 01-13-95, 2:48 P.M.)
LISTDS.EXE ( 22,495 bytes, dated 01-23-95, 4:35 P.M.)

To replace your SRVMAIN.EXE file
- At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following and press ENTER after
each line
copy <path>\srvmain.exe <destination>
copy <path>\listds.exe <destination>
where <path> is the drive and directory where you ran the self-
extracting SRVUPD.EXE file and <destination> is the drive and
directory where your SRVMAIN.EXE and LISTDS.EXE (originally
obtained from the Dir-Sync Application Note WA0725) files currently
reside. For example, if you ran the self-extracting file from the
TEST directory on drive D, and your SRVMAIN.EXE and LISTDS.EXE files
are located in the MAILEXE directory on drive C, type the following
commands:
copy d:\test\srvmain.exe c:\mailexe
copy d:\test\listds.exe c:\mailexe
Notes:
------
- The SRVMAIN.EXE file typically resides on the postoffice
server in the Mail executables directory as well as on the machine
running the Dispatch program and the directory synchronization
agents. Make sure you update all copies of the SRVMAIN.EXE file.
- Once you update to version 3.2.13 or later of SRVMAIN
and ADMIN, use this LISTDS for viewing the SRVCONF.GLB.
- At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following and press ENTER
copy <path>\sconfix.exe <destination>
where <path> is the drive and directory where you ran the self-
extracting SRVUPD.EXE file and <destination> is the drive and
directory where your Mail executable files currently reside. For
example, if you ran the self-extracting file from the TEST directory
on drive D, and your Mail executable files are located in the MAILEXE
directory on drive C, type the following command:
copy d:\test\sconfix.exe c:\mailexe
- Run the SCONFIX utility from the Mail executables directory
by running
sconfix -d<drive>
where <drive> is the drive mapped to the Dir-Sync server postoffice
database.
