The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Mail Gateway to MHS, version 3.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

After you install Lotus cc:Mail gateway, mail stops moving between Microsoft
Mail and MHS.

CAUSE
=====

The MHS Directory Manager cycles and checks the cc:Mail gateway first, and runs
INPOST.EXE. Because INPOST.EXE is a Microsoft utility, it reads the waiting
messages from the MHS gateway queue. These messages are queued in the
MHS\MAIL\GATES\<cc:Mail>\IN directory. The cc:Mail gateway supports SMF
64. INPOST.EXE puts messages into SMF 70. After running INPOST.EXE, the MHS
Directory Manager can not read the messages because they are in the wrong place
and in the wrong format for cc:Mail.

RESOLUTION
==========

To correct this problem, copy INPOST.EXE and OUTPOST.EXE (included with the
Microsoft Mail gateway) to the MHS\MAIL\GATES\<cc:Mail>\PUBLIC directory.
