3926.0. "ALL-IN-1 and Message Router MisCommunication" by DPDMAI::BERNAL (set a goal and go for it) Mon Feb 28 1994 21:45

    Hello Customer just upgrade from ALL-IN-1 2.4 to 3.0 and everything
    went semi smooth . One major problem that we are experiencing today
    is message router .
    	
    The Fetcher is is picking up the messages as complete but message
    router is rejecting them , making them undeliverable .
    
    Messages going from ALL-IN-1 to the other side ok no problem , 
    Messages coming back is where the problem is being experienced ,
    
    Currently its is being worked through telephone support , but
    seem to be going nowhere . 
    
    Any Ideas , Hints 
    Thank you
    Frank Bernal

    	Many thanks to support and ENG for working the issue .
    	The fix , was ( my understanding ) by using the MTI object in
    	the library from version 3.0 .
    
    	Please contact your support organization for further details .
    
    	thank you

3926.4ClarificationIOSG::MARSHALLA glitch in realityFri Mar 04 1994 11:2822
If this is the call I'm thinking of, then I should clarify .3 to prevent panic:

.3 said (implied) the fix is to revert V3.0-1 or V3.0A mail code to V3.0, as
(according to .0) the later mail code causes large-scale non-deliveries.

Such a statement implies a serious problem in V3.0-1 and V3.0A, which is not
the case.  These patches improve error handling in the mail code, and in this
specific case caused the fetcher to reject badly-formed NBS files.  V3.0 doesn't
contain the check, so will deliver (part of) the mail message.  I'm not sure
which is best - rejecting corrupt messages or "having a go" at delivering them
anyway.

The bad NBS files were being produced by a customer's own application (I don't
have any more details), not by ALL-IN-1 or any other Digital software.  So the
real fix is for them to fix their application.  They have apparently chosen to
accept partially-delivered (and probably corrupt) messages as a stop-gap.

So this topic does not in any way imply general fetcher problems in any
release of ALL-IN-1, or that there is any need for the ALL-IN-1 community in
general to de-install any of the V3.0 patches.
