SMTP or MHS Address

I imagine by now you have solved this either by brains or brute force. I also had this along with other installation problems.

To solve it I had to get a PMGATE.SYS into the Pmail/Programs folder. I generated this on the server with Mercury using UNC format for the path. Then I copied it across to the folder on the remote machine. Bingo!

The override of which they speak is of the format IN: and is placed with a space before the troublesome address. Since in my case I used the address book name it then came back from Mercury with "this user is not known on this system". Trying again with the email address proper it seemed to get posted off via Mercury and subsequent emails have not repeated the problem.

Two of my Pegasus users work just fine, but the third one says when I try to send a new message that an email address could be either a SMTP or a MHS address, and I should use an override so Pegasus can knows where to send it.   Perhaps I need some setup change to make this work, but I don't have this problem with the other two users, and I see no reason why this one shouldn't work the same way.

This generally means that your File | Network configuration | (Sending) SMTP has not been setup for this user.  Could also be that you are running with Mercury or Mercury/32 and it's either not running the Novell Client 32 or does not have access to the UDG so it does not see the queue.

I will check the setup.  I am running Pegasus 4.41 and Windows XP SP2.
