SUMMARY
=======
Microsoft provides a replacement for the X400GATE.EXE file that is included
with version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400. The replacement file
corrects a number of problems in the original X400GATE.EXE file.
For complete information about obtaining and installing the X400GATE.EXE
file, see the "To replace your X.400 executable files" section at the end
of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
================
This replacement file corrects the following problems:
- Characters with diacritical marks (accents) are improperly encoded.
- The encoded information type (EIT) for ISO-6937 is improperly
encoded.
- The gateway does not update the RECV.LOG file for messages received
by the gateway.
- The gateway hangs if the subject line contains enough spaces (ASCII
32D or 20H) after the subject text to cause the total length to be
74 or more characters.
- The gateway hangs if a user forwards or replies to a message that
was previously returned by the X.400 gateway (usually because of a
bad address). This forward or reply message adds characters to the
subject line, changing the total length to 74 or more characters,
with spaces in the seventy-fourth and following positions.
- The gateway tp4 stack incorrectly replies to a recovery packet and
displays "ERROR: Pconnect..."
- The gateway hangs after it processes two messages that have large
distribution lists.
- The gateway generates an "ERROR 58" message when it transmits mail
or attachments to an ISODE Openpath user, even though the user
successfully receives the message.
- The gateway generates invalid minor synchronization points, causing
an "ERROR 3." If debug mode is used, the error "DEBUG (tp4_recv):
connection x: tp_receive() failed" occurs.
- The gateway begins to create nondelivery reports. If the External
Mail program tries to deliver these reports, the following error
occurs in the SYSTEM.LOG file: "Message was not delivered: routing
file was corrupted."
- The gateway generates a free-form name longer than the 64 character
limit specified in NIST, causing the message to be rejected by the
receiving message transfer agent (MTA).
- The gateway runs out of memory when you use ISO6937 as message body
text. The gateway then misplaces subsequent messages, reporting the
error "ERROR 3 (AttachP2): ISO6937 conversion failed."
- If the gateway is configured to use a checkpoint size of 10, it may
display the error "DEBUG (T4 SEND): CONNECTION 32: TP SEND() FAILED: 3."
It then will not process any more messages.
- If a large (4000 or more names) custom address map exists, the gateway
may process messages slowly.
- Read receipts and delivery notifications may be sent to the incorrect
address by Softswitch EMX if the unique identifier the Microsoft Mail
Gateway to X.400 places on each message is not unique.
To replace your X.400 executable files
--------------------------------------
At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following and press ENTER
copy <path>\x400gate.exe <destination>
where <path> is the drive and directory where you ran the self-extracting
X400GA.EXE file and <destination> is the drive and directory where your
X.400 executable files currently reside. For example, if the X.400
executable files are located in the MAILEXE directory on drive C and you
ran the self-extracting file from the TEST directory on drive D, type the
following command:
copy d:\test\x400gate.exe c:\mailexe
NOTE: The X400GATE.EXE file typically resides on the postoffice server in
the Mail executables directory as well as on the machine where the gateway
is running. Make sure all copies are updated appropriately.
