PC Adm: Incorrect Mailbags for SNADS and PROFS

• Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, version 3.2

SYMPTOMS

When the Microsoft Mail administrator creates a SNADS DGN by choosing Gateway, DGN, Create, a mailbag and key files are created for the DGN. This mailbag and key file are never used because all SNADS gateway mail is queued up in the mailbag for the gateway, regardless of the DGN to which the recipient belongs.

This problem does not cause mail to be lost.

RESOLUTION

Use the Import utility with the -c option to autocreate SNADS DGNs. The Import utility does not create mailbag and key files for each DGN.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 3.2 of the Microsoft Mail Administrator program. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

The same behavior is exhibited when the Administrator adds a PROFS node through the Admin program. When Import is used to autocreate PROFS nodes, it does not create a mailbag for each PROFS node.
