The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400, version 3.2 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Priority 1 mail is returned in 24 hours instead of the expected 36 hours.

CAUSE
=====

This happens if the -U0 option is NOT used, because the MTA moves the
low-priority mail into the normal-priority queue when it re-starts. If the -U0
option is used (to prevent the MTA from re-starting) priority 1 mail is returned
in 36 hours as you would expect.

RESOLUTION
==========

It was felt that if the MTA needs to be re-started, low-priority mail should be
sent earlier.
