86.0. "Your most urgent fix request, pls enter here! " by EEMELI::MITTS (back on the chain-gang,..) Mon May 27 1991 15:16

	Hello MR/MEMO user community.

	Now that it seems that MR/MEMO might need some reworking to inter-
	operate with MEMO V3.1, I'd like to try to get all of us to join forces
	to enable Stefan and Anders to convince their management that they
	should be given a few days to produce a MR/MEMO kit that includes
	some bug fixes etc that have cropped up and not been addressed by
	simple patches.

	My hope is that anybody who feels an urgent need for these sort of fixes
	would reply here together with some indication of the user/customer
	base influenced by the problem you report.

	My hope is that in this way we could "generate" say MR/MEMO V2.1A or
	something that would include V3.1 support plus fizes for those
	problems that Anders and Stefan manage to fix in whatever time they
	might be given.

	Anders and Stefan, if you don't like this approach of mine pls, feel
	free to "moderate" out this note!

	Regs, H�kan

86.1Dump when USERID missingEEMELI::MITTSback on the chain-gang,..Mon May 27 1991 15:2331
	MR/MEMO dumps and goes into an infinite loop of startup/die when a 
	message entering from MR does not contain a USERID field in the
	addresses (apparently mainly in the bodypart).

	Error is annoying because 1) MR/MEMO does not process any messages after
	this occurs 2) the MRMEMO process to encounter such a problem eats
	tons of CPU-time 3) the process writes zilloins of lines of log
	filling up the disk where MRMEMO resides...

	Remedy :

	A missing USERID should not result in an error being signalled but
	instead the message being taken off the MR queue and a meesage logged
	to the console and the log file.

	An added bonus would be if the file would be stored as something.BAD
	in the MRMEMO directory.

	User affected :

	This problem occurs intermittently at least when interoperating with
	MRX, In Finland such installations are :

	The Finnish PTT (almost all finnish MEMO installations have acces to
	thsi service in Finland and a number of big companies do use it)

	The government data processing center (VTKK, several thousand users
	use X.400 over our solution).
