PC Gen: Bound Applications That Work with MMTA

ID: Q118677

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, version 3.2

SUMMARY

The Microsoft Message Transfer Agent (MTA) included with version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks is an MS-DOS application (it is a single tasking application). You can obtain a multitasking version that runs on OS/2. Updates to .DLLs and new executable files are released periodically to enhance the performance of the Mail product and to fix problems. All of the updates are bound applications and will run on MS-DOS or OS/2. This article lists the updates for the MTA function that can be used with the MMTA.

NOTE: DISPATCH.EXE is not a bound application. There is a MS-DOS version and an OS/2 version.

All the updates are bound applications except for the EXTERNAL.EXE file for OS/2 (MMTA). You can obtain the Application Note WA0975 "Microsoft Mail EXTERNAL.EXE Update for OS/2 Mail Multitasking MTA" only from Microsoft Product Support Services.
