SYMPTOMS
========

When a Foreign DirSync, Directory Synchronization with Foreign Mail Systems,
message comes into the DirSync directory server, these error messages may
appear:

In DIRSYNC.LOG:

  "3/23/93 11:00:03 | Error [158] Requestor not registered :
  PCM:"

  -or-

  "3/23/93 11:05:03 | Error [158] Requestor not registered :
  PCM:NETWORK/POSTOFFICE"

In ADMIN's Mailbox:

  "Requestor not registered :
  From: NETWORK/POSTOFFICE/USERID"

CAUSE
=====

If the NETWORK/POSTOFFICE are a foreign DirSync postoffice, one of the following
may cause the error:

- The NETWORK/POSTOFFICE was not defined on the directory server using
  ADMIN:CONFIG:DIR-SYNC:SERVER:REQUESTORS:CREATE. Without this, the directory
  server does not accept requests from a requestor.

- The REQNAME field in the DirSync message has a typo for the
  NETWORK/POSTOFFICE name or the directory server has a typo defined for the
  FFAPI gateway postoffice.

- The REQNAME field does not contain a NETWORK/POSTOFFICE. For example:

  REQNAME=PCM:

The Directory Synchronization with Foreign Mail Systems Manual does not clearly
explain the need for the network and postoffice name for Microsoft Mail Software
Development Kit (FFAPI)-based gateways. Other gateways require only an entry
containing one of the predefined types. These types are listed in the "Foreign
DirSync" manual.
