SUMMARY

Versions 2.1 and 3.0 of Microsoft Mail Gateway to SMTP may display the following error message:
"WARNING getline: NL with no CR"
This error message indicates that the SMTP Gateway program has received a message that does not use CRLF to delineate SMTP header fields. RFC 822 "Standard for the Format of ARPA INTERNET Text Messages," section 3.1.2 "Structure of Header Fields" specifies that header fields should end with CRLF.

This is only a warning message. Mail continues to be processed even if you make no changes to the SMTP gateway.
