SYMPTOMS
========

Administrators of Microsoft Exchange Server version 5 may find that after they
install the Internet Mail Service (IMS) and run the Performance Optimizer
provided with Microsoft Exchange, the number of outbound gateway threads will
still be set to the default value of 2.

CAUSE
=====

The following specific options must be selected and specific conditions met to
see the symptom:

- The NT server must have more than 128 megabytes memory.

- The administrator selected 'POP3 Only' in the optimizer.

RESOLUTION
==========

A logic error in Perfwiz.exe is the source of the trouble.
