SYMPTOMS
========

When you attempt to send a message to a foreign system through the Microsoft
Mail Gateway to X.400, the foreign system may end the connection before the
message is completely transferred, and the X.400 log file may contain entries
similar to the following:

- 13:38:19 ERROR 3 (RTS): Sending message 0000120D failed

- 13:38:19 ERROR 3 (RTS): Association aborted

- 13:38:19 DEBUG (T4_recv): Connection 2: tp_receive() failed: 12

- 13:38:19 ERROR 1 (MTSE): Error occurred in state 0

CAUSE
=====

This problem occurs when the Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 sends invalid minor
synchronization points to the foreign system.
