SUMMARY
SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft Exchange Server and configure connections in the
Microsoft Mail Connector Connections tab, you may receive the following
error:
<network name> is a reserved network name. Enter a
different name.
CAUSE
This error occurs when you enter a reserved name for the Microsoft Mail
network name. The following list contains the names that cannot be used as
network names:
ATTMAIL GTE SMTP
COMPUSERVE MCI SNADS
DISOSS MHS SOURCE
EASYLINK MSMAIL VMGATE
ENVOY OV X400
FAX PROFS *EMS
These are network names of some common gateways for Microsoft Mail, which
is why they are reserved. If the network name for any Microsoft Mail
postoffice is in this list, then you will not be able to connect to that
postoffice when you use the Microsoft Mail Connector.
