Can not use indirect postoffice to forward mail

CAUSE

This error occurs if you try to assign an indirect postoffice to be the gateway postoffice during the installation process.

RESOLUTION

Use the following steps to ensure that the gateway postoffice is direct to the local postoffice:

1. Stop the installation procedure.



2. Start the Administrator program (ADMIN.EXE).



3. Select External, Admin-Modify to modify the relationship to the gateway postoffice.



4. Quit ADMIN.EXE.



5. Install the Access component.
