APPLIES TO


 * Microsoft Mail Remote 3.0 for MS-DOS

This article was previously published under Q149368



SYMPTOMS
When you try to retrieve a message addressed to 300 or more total individual recipients, during the retrieval of the message, you may get the following error message:

ProcessRecvMail, fp_read fails.

Out of memory.



CAUSE
When you retrieve a message addressed to 300 or more individually addressed recipients, the MS-DOS Mail Remote client may encounter a memory limitation that results in the above error message.

NOTE: Other mail messages pending in the your mailbag will be retrieved successfully during the session. However, the client will have to exhaust the number of required retry attempts on the failing message to eliminate the error condition and have the message returned to the originator with a non-delivery report.



RESOLUTION
This problem can be corrected by creating a group definition on the postoffice that contains the desired recipient list. Therefore, the retrieval of the message by the MS-DOS Mail Remote client will not fail if the same number of recipients are delivered via a group alias.
