The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Mail Gateway to MHS, version 3.2 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you send or receive a message through the Microsoft Mail Gateway to MHS,
the date recorded in the Sent.log or Recv.log file may be incorrect. If the
message is sent or received between the years 2000 and 2009, the two- digit year
recorded in the Sent.log or Recv.log file is 10. For example, if the message is
sent on January 1, 2000, the date recorded is 1/1/10.

CAUSE
=====

The Inpost.exe and Outpost.exe components do not properly record the sent and
received dates in the Sent.log and Recv.log files for the years 2000 through
2009.
