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

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

SYMPTOMS
========

The MHS gateway does not process the [<intended host>] portion of an
incoming MHS message. All address elements after the [<intended host>]
field are ignored.

CAUSE
=====

The Microsoft Mail Gateway to MHS was not designed to recognize the
[<intended>] host field.

RESOLUTION
==========

According to the Novell SMF "Programmer's Reference" pages 4-8:

  NetWare MHS strips out the intended host address element before passing a
  message to a gateway ... gateway developers do not need to handle this
  address element.

MORE INFORMATION
================

You should contact either Novell or the company that developed the application
that is generating the intended host address element before passing the message
to the MHS gateway. The MHS gateway does not include the intended host address
element in outbound messages.
