My customer has found a mail message that has come through the PMDF
gateway (X400) from CC:MAIL to message router. Message router handled
it well, but the A1 fetcher looped when it got the message for 2
reasons
a) it was a distribution list with a number of addressees,
b) it seems to have lost both the subject line and the addressee line
in the header.
He finds that if he renames the .NBS file the fetcher clears up.
(his ALL-IN-1 version is 3.0-1)
Somehow it managed to get delivered to a addressee (which was not
specified) and the addressee did not recognize it as theirs. They also
were notified that with the following "message damaged during
transfer". This recipient seemed almost to be randomly chosen by the
fetcher.
The customer has come across only a few of these messages that hang the
fetcher. Although he cannot be sure that they all originated in the
same place, he is concerned that the fetcher is not robust enough to
cope with these damaged headers, and continues to loop when
encountering them.
Is looping for an empty addressee field common?
I'm just looking for thoughts, ideas on this......

monica,
STARS offers many suggestions but all of them are answered as fixed in
v2.4 or v3.0 - the one most similar to yours is entitled
Message May Be Misdirected If Incoming NBS File Is Corrupt
It may be time to dust off an SPR form since this does appear fairly
serious.
I haven't heard of any (that I remember) bad things happening with a
v3.0 fetcher.
Regards,

Yes andrew, I'd seen that and thought - well this MUST be
something different since it was a patch in V2.3.
However, you are right, if its still around, maybe we should
ring some bells...
