SUMMARY
=======

The Retry Interval text box on the Connections tab of the Internet Mail
Connector (IMC), in the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program, has less
robust error checking than any other text box. It will allow you to enter
garbage numerical characters and save them, without generating a warning. The
IMC Server handles these garbage entries by setting all retry intervals to zero.
However, the text box will not display this but will continue to display the
numbers that you entered. The IMC silently ignores numbers greater than 100 when
it starts.

MORE INFORMATION
================

To ensure that the retry interval for the IMC is not ignored, enter a value in
the text box between 0 and 100.
