- Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows, version 3.2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
Mail Remote for Windows users receive the following error when attempting to
connect to their postoffice for transmitting mail:
Postoffice has not accepted mail item.
Sign-on ID or password is incorrect.
However, the postoffice password has not been changed and a new init-disk has no
affect.
CAUSE
=====
The External instance(s) in the INI file for the modem(s) do not include a path
statement to the postoffice. Therefore, the MTA service a remote user connects
with does not recognize the sign-on ID or password as an existing postoffice.
When the error message occurs randomly and there are multiple instances
servicing Mail Remote users and the modems are in a phone number "Hunt group,"
the instances must be the identical.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this problem, include the path information to the postoffice in the
INI file instance section.
