The information in this article applies to:

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


SYMPTOMS
========

When you attempt to send a message with an associated P1 file that is 246 bytes
in size through the Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400, the message may not be sent
successfully and the X.400 log file may contain entries similar to the
following:

- 10:31:24 ERROR 3 (RTS): Sending message 000011D4 failed

- 10:31:24 ERROR 3 (RTS): Association aborted

The gateway repeatedly attempts to send the message until the gateway is stopped
and no other messages are sent during this time. Note that this problem only
occurs when you are using version 3.2.11 or later of the X400gate.exe file, but
earlier than version 3.2.21.
