The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Mail Gateway to SMTP, versions 2.1 and 3.0

The Microsoft Mail Gateway to SMTP shows the current time at the top of the first column (top right corner) of the Gateway PC screen, and in the first column of the log file m:\log\smtpgate.log.

The Gateway gets the time from the Microsoft C library routine Time(). The MS-DOS Time command (type TIME at the MS-DOS prompt) uses the same routine and gives you the same time that the Gateway displays in the log file or on screen.

The Gateway also uses this routine to date/time-stamp messages, such as when it inserts a date in the in box to show the time of receipt of a message.
