PC Rmt: Remote Postoffice List Only Contains Local Addresses (112896)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail Remote for MS-DOS 3.0
This article was previously published under Q112896 SYMPTOMS
In version 3.0 of Microsoft Mail Remote for MS-DOS, the postoffice list
will not contain external postoffice users, even if the Mail administrator
has added external postoffice users to the postoffice list.
CAUSE
The Regenerate command is displayed after you select the Remote command in
the Mail Administrator program (ADMIN.EXE). The Regenerate command creates
a file called RNETWORK.GLB, which contains the default user list for a
Remote Mail user. When external postoffice users are added to the
postoffice list, they are added to the ADMIN.NME file. The regenerate
process looks at the ACCESS2.GLB file rather than the ADMIN.NME file.
Therefore, only local users appear in the postoffice list of the MS-DOS
Remote client.
RESOLUTION
To view external postoffice users, choose Postoffice Network List and then
select the postoffice for which you want the list of external addresses.
Note that the current postoffice users and the external postoffice users
will not be part of the same list.
