Hi,
I have a customer that wants to find a way to keep messages from
getting forwarded to vmsmail when there is no MAILworks account.
They have MRGATE on their local system and what is happening is this:
A MIME mail message is getting addressed to user@am@corp. This is the
wrong address for this user who is actually on a different node (zeus)
using Exchange. The user does have an account on CORP where he is using
another application.
When mail is inadvertantly delivered to user@am@corp, it finds no DMW
profile and uses MRGATE to deliver the message to VMSMAIL. By the time
the message gets to VMSMAIL, the MIME message is all messed up. What
this customer wants to do is have a non-delivery generated when it
doesn't find a valid DMW profile. That way the sender of the message
knows that they sent it to the wrong address. So, how can I turn the
automatic forwarding to VMSMAIL off? THanks.

If a MailWorks account cannot be found, then a VMSmail account
will be used, (if the VMSmail account can be found.) There is
no option/parameter that can be used to turn this feature off.
Have you tried to set the forwarding address in the VMSmail account
to the account on zeus?

Like I mentioned in .0, once the message gets to vmsmail, the mime
formatting is trashed. I think the only way to aviod this is to create
a profile in DMW for all users then set redirect to the exchange
address. Thanks.

Jan, How exactly, is the MIME "trashed"? MIME is only ASCII, so I can't imagine why MRGATE would want to trash it. grahame | |||||
