SYMPTOMS
The Import mail administration utility (IMPORT.EXE) included with
versions 2.1, 3.0, and 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks reports
the wrong line number when a transaction has an Invalid character in
column 1.
As a result, IMPORT generates the following expected error
xxxx IMPORT: Error [12] Invalid character in column 1
where xxxx represents what Import assumes to be the actual line number
of the invalid transaction.
CAUSE
According to the DIRSYNC.TXT file on Server Disk 1, the error syntax
above means that the Import source file contains an invalid character.
The transaction listed before the invalid transaction does not get
processed and modifications to the postoffice address list do not take
place even though that previous transaction is actually valid.
