SUMMARY

for RFC 2156 address mapping) isn't enabled.

The Mappings.out.txt file contains the following (the same as when no mapping is

  Revert to old tables.

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

When you enable Mixer, the Mcgam.in.txt file is not enough, you must also create
a file named Local.in.txt (an empty one is enough) in the Exchsrvr\Mtadata (or
whichever directory is the MTA Run Directory).

This file allows the local administrator to add mapping without modifying the
Mcgam.in.txt. This way, you can have the same Mcgam.in.txt file throughout your
organization.
