The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400, version 3.2x
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
Version 3.2x of the Microsoft Mail Gateway for X.400 may display the following
message in the X400xxxx.LOG file if verbose and debug logging are enabled
(-lvd):
Incoming ER TPDU on connection xx:
0970001A 00C10302 F080
ERROR 1 (TRAN): Invalid TPDU 70 in state 4
CAUSE
=====
The data field in the message has a field length of zero. This is allowed if it
is the last packet.
RESOLUTION
==========
The remote X400 message transfer agent (MTA) must be able to accept the last
packet in the conversation if it has a data field length of zero. Contact the
administrator of the other X400 MTA to verify it will accept an end packet of
data field length zero.
MORE INFORMATION
================
A complete explanation of the TPDU follows:
rv[ 10] 0970001A 00C10302 F080
09 length = 9
70 TPDU type = ER
001A = Destination reference
00 reject cause = Not specified
C1 03 02 F080 = The invalid TPDU that the other side is
complaining about.
The invalid TPDU:
02 length = 2
F0 TPDU type = DT
80 EOT or the end flag.
The Microsoft X.400 Gateway may create a zero length data field if the length of
the message happened to fall on a DT TPDU boundary. This is not a violation of
the X.400 standard. According to X.224 section 6.3.3.:
All DT TPDUs except the last DT TPDU in a sequence greater than one shall
have a length of data greater than zero.
This is the last DT TPDU in a sequence (the EOT flag being on), so it is allowed
to have a zero length user data field.
