1221.0. "MAIL FORWARD address causes MAIL INIT ACCVIO ?!" by SHALOT::LANPHEAR (Take the tide one wave at a time) Tue Aug 11 1992 18:14

    The janitor run at our customer site failed over the weekend, and it
    happened to fail on an account set up for a digit.  The account has
    been around for a long time, so it _was_ working fine up to about two
    weeks ago (he has been on vacation for the past two weeks, and he will
    be gone through the end of this week).  I can NEWDIR to the account,
    and use the WP SEL command to see every document in his filecab, but if
    I try to use the WP Index, or enter EM, it invokes MAIL INIT, and gives
    me a tour of the registers.  
    
    A hacked up trace for EM shows:
    em{CR}
    ...
    113     ! %OA-I-LOGFUN, Function: MAIL            INITIALIZE
    113     ! OA$FLO_OPEN_FORM: Opening form - NIENTR
    114     !         in USERDISK3:[ALLIN1.LIB_ENGLISH]OAFORM.FLB;

    123     ! OA$FLO_ALL_NDISP: Undisplay all workspaces
    
    I just checked his profile record, and MAIL_FORWARD contains
    	JON JOHNSON@1=US@2=MCI@3=DIGITAL@TELEMAIL
    I blanked it, and that was the problem - his account works fine!
    
    Now, can somebody explain this?  They're running V2.4 patched through K604.
    
    And by the way, did his mail autoforward to that address, or did it
    just go away - I'm not sure if it's a valid address(?)
                                                                      
      Any ideas?					Cheers, Dan'l

    Dan'l,
    
    Shouldn't the mail forward address contain
    Vid Desai		(desai@a1@iosG)
    or in the X.400 case
    Remote Address	(desai@1=us@2=nc,@3=....)
    
    BTW: The Mail will never have got to the address you forwarded it to.
    
    The code is very sensitive to the position of the ( so if you get the
    address wrong in some form then it will call the mail error handler
    which displays the DCL overlay form (i.e it ACCVIOs)
    
    It does this in v3.0 also.
    
    Regards,

1221.2I'll have to ask JJ what he didSHALOT::LANPHEARTake the tide one wave at a timeTue Aug 11 1992 18:5610
    Thanks for the fast response, Andy!  And when you say the mail never
    got to the destination, does that mean it went into the extended
    address space of the bit bucket, or is it hanging around some queue
    some where, that's not immediately obvious?  MRMAN shows they have
    source and destination journaling - is there any chance we can recover
    some of the mail?
    
    Bad user... bad user!

    The original sender(S) should have got non-deliveries.
    in fact it's one of the better non-deliveries as shown here:

         The subject of the message was :
          vid owes me money
    
    - not perfect i'll grant you since it says ALL-IN-1 account rather
      than invalid address, I guess in the really old days you could only
      set AF to ALL-IN-1 account before all these gateways were even dreamt
      of.
