The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
With Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0 and the AppleTalk Mail Connector, the Network
Manager of the AppleTalk Mail system may messages with the following Subject:
line:
Bad incoming message file
WORKAROUND
==========
There are 2 possible workarounds for this problem.
- Set the aging factor option under the Gateway, Configuration... in the
Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks client to a value of zero. This will
keep both sides from generating a handshake file.
- Use the Macintosh System version 7.5.1 on the PowerMac 6100 or install the
gateway on a different PowerMac model.
RESOLUTION
==========
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
================
This only seems to be a problem with PowerMac 6100 and 7100 computers. The
gateway picks up the Mmff1.msg file and should just discard it as a handshake
file, and no message should be delivered. However, the gateway does not appear
to recognize this file as a handshake message and moves it to the BADMAIL
directory.
