APPLIES TO


 * Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 3.2

This article was previously published under Q194549



SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to send a message to a single X.400 recipient, and the Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 is unable to deliver the message, you may receive a non-delivery report (NDR) that is not associated with the original message, and the following entry may appear in the System.log file:

[024] Message was not delivered: routing file was corrupted.



CAUSE
When the Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 is unable to deliver a message, the gateway creates a non-delivery report (NDR) and an associated P1 file. If the message was sent to a single recipient, the NDR and P1 file are created with no recipients. Even though the NDR does not contain any valid recipients, the gateway may attempt to send the NDR. When the External program attempts to deliver the NDR, an additional NDR is generated, and the above entry is added to the System.log file.
