FFAPI: PUT Programs Work Only on First 50 Messages of MMF File

 * }

Q115490

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Mail Gateway to FFAPI, versions 2.1, 3.0

-

SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Mail Software Development Kit (SDK) file format application programming interface (FFAPI) PUT programs do not deliver more than 50 messages from input mail message files (MMFs). No error messages are reported.

After the first 50, additional messages are put into the Mail database, but they are not fully delivered to the intended recipient; the message is saved and the recipient information is stored in the INQUEUE3.MBG file.

CAUSE
FFAPI PUT leaves the remaining messages to be delivered by EXTERNAL or another gateway process.

RESOLUTION
You can complete the delivery of the additional messages by three means:

 Run the GET program to extract messages from the database; it contains shared code that delivers messages to users or downstream queues.  Run PUT again with no input file. Another 50 messages are delivered. Repeat this until all the messages in the input MMF are delivered.

For example, if the input file name is MMF.IN and contains 130 messages, you would use the PUT program three times: gtwput -aadmin:password -dm -f2 mmf.in

gtwput -aadmin:password -dm -f2

gtwput -aadmin:password -dm -f2   Run EXTERNAL or another Mail Gateway process to finish delivering the messages.

For example: gtwput -aadmin:password -dm -f2 mmf.in
