SUMMARY
=======

There are several External command line options that are not used with the
Microsoft Mail Multitasking MTA for Windows NT (NT MMTA).

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

The following options can not be used with the NT MMTA, either on the command
line or in the EXTERNAL.INI file:

  AsyncInt
  AsyncPort
  DrivesNovell
  IdleProcess
  IdleProcessMinPeriod
  IdleProcessMaxPeriod
  ScreenBios
  ScreenColor
  ScreenSnow
  ScreenNone

The following options can not be used when you run External as a service, but
they can be used when you run them from a CMD prompt:

  DriveHomePO
  DrivesDirectPO
  DrivesDynamic
  DrivesWan

The options above are not used with the NT MMTA running as a service because it
dynamically allocates drives and does not use directly mapped drives.
