FFAPI: Corrupted From: Field with Large Gateway Put

ID: Q124794

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail Software Development Kit (FFAPI), version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

When you use the LGTWPUT.EXE program, a corrupted From: field may result.

CAUSE

This corruption occurs if you run EDIT.COM before you run LGTWPUT.EXE.

LGTWPUT.EXE is inheriting some bits that EDIT leaves in memory, and this triggers corruption in the MAI and P1 files. The From: field becomes corrupted. Once the error occurs, all subsequent mail reflects the same error condition.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 3.0 of Microsoft Mail Software Development Kit (SDK): File Format Application Programming Interface (FFAPI) for Applications and Gateways. This problem was corrected in LGTWPUT.EXE version 3.04.7. If you do not have version 3.04.7 (or later), you can download GWPUT.EXE, a self-extracting file, on the following services:
