SUMMARY

Version 3.2 of the Microsoft Mail Connection for PC and AppleTalk Networks includes the undocumented switch -MD to disable its Mailer component. The Mailer component distributes incoming messages on a Microsoft Mail for PC Networks postoffice.

NOTE: This option can be used only if another process that also contains the Mailer code is not disabled and is running against the same Microsoft Mail postoffice. This other process can be the External Mail program (EXTERNAL.EXE) or any other gateway.

MORE INFORMATION

Mailer is the Mail Connection gateway component that distributes a piece of mail to a user's mailbag or to the outgoing queue of an externally defined postoffice. The Mailer contains code that is shared among all gateways and the External Mail program executable files. If this component were not shared, all gateways would require the External Mail program to be running against the same postoffice as well.
