PC Ext: Mailbox Name Truncated in CALLIN.LOG

SYMPTOMS
When a remote mail user calls in, the External program records only the
first nine characters of the mailbox ID in the Connection field of the
CALLIN.LOG. If a company uses a ten character mailbox naming convention,
and the first nine characters are not unique, it makes it difficult for the
Administrator to identify the remote user who called in.
RESOLUTION
Do not use ten character mailbox names. If you must use ten character
mailbox names and must identify the remote user uniquely, enable logging on
External, and check the SESSION.LOG. The SESSION.LOG contains all ten
characters of the mailbox name.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in EXTERNAL.EXE version
3.2.16, included with version 3.2 of Mail for PC Networks. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
