SYMPTOMS
IMPORT.EXE may fail to extract SNADS addresses from a gateway postoffice if the gateway name was installed with one of the following names:

MSMAIL

FAX

MCI

X400

SMTP

MHS

IMPORT.EXE recognizes these names as specific types of gateways, and they should not be used for the name of the SNADS gateway.

If one of these names is used, the command line

IMPORT Admin -ppassword -dm -gSNADS -ftest.txt -x

will fail to create the expected text in the file TEST.TXT. However, no error message will be received.



RESOLUTION
This problem can be corrected by changing the SNADS gateway name to a unique network name.



MORE INFORMATION
During installation of the SNADS gateway, step 3 prompts for the gateway name and the following message appears:

Note: This must be a unique network name.

The SNADS installation program will allow input of the gateway names listed above if these gateways are not currently installed. However, IMPORT.EXE will not properly initialize the DGN's for the SNADS gateway if one of these names is used for as the gateway name.
