TITLE   :XFOR: Mail Doesn't Flow from GroupWise to Exchange Server
PRODUCT :Microsoft Exchange
PROD/VER:winnt:5.5
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The following symptoms occur when you try to send mail between Novell GroupWise
and Microsoft Exchange Server:

 - Directory synchronization will be successful, but attempts to send mail from
   GroupWise to Exchange Server are unsuccessful. However, there are no
   non-delivery reports (NDRs) sent back to the originating user to indicate
   that there was a problem.

 - GroupWise users will be able to reply to mail sent from Exchange Server
   users.

 - GroupWise users that compose a new piece of mail using the Exchange Server
   user's entry in GroupWise will find that the mail never reaches the intended
   user. Instead, you might find the following events in the Application log:

   Informational Application event ID 6066:

   Trying to move file
   '\\netware\sys\gwdomain\wpgate\api\API_OUT\36ED2937.API' to
   '\\exchsrvr\connect$\exchconn\gwrouter\badfiles\'

   Warning Application event ID 6062:

   Fail on dispatching message
   '\\netware\sys\gwdomain\wpgate\api\API_OUT\36ED2937.API' from
   '\\exchsrvr\connect$\exchconn\gwrouter\badfiles\'

 - You might find .api files queuing up in the
   Exchsrvr\Connect\Exchconn\Gwrouter\Badfiles directory.


CAUSE
=====

The API Gateway is incorrectly configured to supply a GroupWise-type address for
all mail, whereas the Microsoft Exchange Connector for Novell GroupWise only
supports the component-type address. For GroupWise 5.x systems, this setting is
set through the Addressing Format button on the Required Parameters tab in the
API Gateway object. For GroupWise 4.x systems, this setting is set through the
Addressing Format option within the Specific menu option in the API Gateway
properties. See the "Resolution" section below for step-by-step instructions.

Example of a GroupWise-formatted address:

   From= GWDOMAIN.GWPO.gwuser2;

Example of component-formatted address:

   From=
   WPD= GWDOMAIN;
   WPPO= GWPO;
   WPU= gwuser2;
   FN= GW;
   LN= User2;
   S= User2;
   G= GW;
