The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, versions 3.0 and 3.2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

If an administrator to a new Mail for PC Networks postoffice requests an
import (by selecting Admin, Config, Dir-Sync, Requestor, Import) from the
server running directory synchronization (Dir-Sync), the new postoffice
will not receive the ProxyNet/ProxyPO names if the Dir-Sync server is also
the Mail Connection 3.2 gateway postoffice.

CAUSE
=====

This problem occurs because the ProxyNet/ProxyPO is a FFAPI postoffice. The
Dir-Sync server will only send Mail for PC Networks network/postoffice
addresses, and therefore, it does not incorporate those addresses into the
import request.

RESOLUTION
==========

This problem does not occur if the Mail Connection 3.2 gateway is installed
on a requestor postoffice.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in versions 3.0 and 3.2 of
Microsoft Mail for PC Networks. This problem was corrected in version 3.2a.
