SUMMARY


SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft Exchange Server and configure connections in the Microsoft Mail Connector Connections tab, you may receive the following error:

is a reserved network name. Enter a

different name.



CAUSE
This error occurs when you enter a reserved name for the Microsoft Mail network name. The following list contains the names that cannot be used as network names:

    ATTMAIL            GTE           SMTP COMPUSERVE        MCI           SNADS DISOSS            MHS           SOURCE EASYLINK          MSMAIL        VMGATE ENVOY             OV            X400 FAX               PROFS         *EMS

These are network names of some common gateways for Microsoft Mail, which is why they are reserved. If the network name for any Microsoft Mail postoffice is in this list, then you will not be able to connect to that postoffice when you use the Microsoft Mail Connector.
