DOCUMENT:Q135233 10-NOV-1999 [pcmail] TITLE :CONN: Connection Downstream Component Can Be Created Manually PRODUCT :Microsoft Mail For PC Networks PROD/VER::3.2 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Mail Connection for PC and AppleTalk Networks, version 3.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= A Microsoft Mail for PC Networks downstream Connection Gateway postoffice can be created without the need to use the Connection Setup disk. You can create an external postoffice definition by running ADMIN.EXE and selecting External_Admin, Create. Then declare the proxynet/proxypo as being indirect via the gateway servers network_name/postoffice_name. MORE INFORMATION ================ Even though Mail for PC Networks users will be able to get details and see the server name associated with the gateway address, the users will lose the ability to one-off address to AppleTalk Mail users if the administrator chooses to create the downstream definition without the Setup disk. Microsoft recommends that you use the version 3.2 Mail Connection Setup disk whenever possible.
