SYMPTOMS
The Mail 3.2 setup program used to install a new postoffice displays the following message if you use the network name of MSMAIL:

Network name entered is a reserved name.

The installation program of version 3.0 of Mail for PC Networks exhibits the same behavior.



CAUSE
MSMAIL is the reserved name for the Mail Connection Gateway.



RESOLUTION
Choose a different name for network name. If you do not have the Mail Connection Gateway installed, the Mail Administrator program (ADMIN.EXE) will allow you to change your network name to MSMAIL. To change the name, run the Mail Administrator program and choose Config, Password.
