The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Mail Gateway to SNADS, versions 2.0 and 3.0

The mapping of SNADS DGNs is required at the gateway postoffice only.

Mapping is accomplished via the Administrator program, by selecting Gateways, SNADS, Map, Mapping. Type the network name of the network to map, then type the name of the postoffice to map. Type the DGN name, as defined on the SNADS network, for the postoffice requiring mapping.

Mapping is required only in the following instances:

  • The postoffice name is more than 8 characters. For example 

          Network = Microsoft, Postoffice = Washington

    could be mapped to Washingt or any DGN of 8 characters or less. That is: 

          Microsoft/Washington maps to Washingt
  • The postoffice name is 8 characters or less, but it does not exactly match its DGN. For example: 

          Network = Microsoft, Postoffice = Wash

    However, the DGN (as defined by SNADS) is Washst. That is: 

          Microsoft/Wash maps to Washst
  • The postoffice name conflicts with an existing DGN. This could mean there are two postoffices with the same postoffice name but different network names. For example 

          Network = Microsoft, Postoffice = Wash

    and there is an existing DGN named Wash. That is: 

          Microsoft/Wash maps to Wash1

    Another example: 

          Network1 = Microsoft, Network2 = Support, Postoffice(s) = Wash


          Microsoft/Wash maps to Wash1

          Support/Wash   maps to Wash


  • The postoffice network name is different on a downstream postoffice than
   it is on the gateway postoffice. For example:

    

          Gateway Postoffice Network name = Microsoft,
      Gateway Postoffice name = Wash,
      Downstream Postoffice Network name = DNSmsft,
      Downstream Postoffice = DNS

    

          Microsoft/Wash will map to Wash by default
      DNSmsft/DNS maps to DNS
