Nemx Messenger

What is the Nemx Messenger series of products?

The Messenger series of products for Exchange (a.k.a. Windows Messaging and Outlook) and MS Mail provides individuals with mail and news services commonly found within the Internet or corporate network through the familiar graphical interface of Microsoft's Mail clients (Exchange and MSMail).

In other words sending and receiving mail or news to the network is identical to sending and receiving a message locally. No special encoding of recipient names is required and all received mail is properly tagged for easy replying. Attachments may be added for mail forwarded to the network and any attachments received from the network are contained within the body of the received message as an icon.

Installation

Download the latest version of Nemx Messenger here. Nemx Messenger {link to NemxMessenger_Product_Download_info.doc}

Run the executable to start the installation process

Once the installation is finished, you have the option of running the configuration wizard. This is recommended for easy setup.

Using the Configuration Wizard

You first have the choice of either Office or Personal Mode. Both installations are basically identical.

Office Mode

Select TCP/IP Connection

Choose your type of connection whether it be a Dedicated Line, Dial up, or ISDN

If you choose Dedicated Line then

Go to the domain {anchor*} section below

If you choose Dial-Up Connection

Choosing Dial-up Networking will ask you how your dial up connection will be made. If you are using either Dial-up Networking from Windows 95 or Remote Access in Windows NT, then select that option; otherwise select the third party dialer.

The following screen allows you to tell the server how often to log on and check for new mail as well as an option to send mail as soon as it is sent from the sender as opposed to waiting until the server logs on to send it.

If you choose the ISDN Router Option

This option allows you to tell the server how often to log on and check for new mail as well as an option to send mail as soon as it is sent from the sender as opposed to waiting until the server logs on to send it.

* Domains

The main domain name is used to determine whether incoming mail is coming to the correct address as well as for determining the correct reply address for any mail going to the Internet.

The alternate domain names are used for other domains from which you wish to accept mail. For example if you also have personal accounts set up at other Internet Service Providers, then putting their domain name here will accept mail with that domain name and then forward it to the appropriate friendly name.

Select Mail Retrieval Methods

Choose SMTP if you have a Dedicated Connection, as this will allow mail to flow into the Internet Server at any time

Choose POP if you want the mail to remain at the Internet Service Provider until the Internet Server makes a connection and starts the download process.

Internet Host Names

You need a SMTP server to forward the mail to the Internet. Enter the host name or its IP address into the box.

You need a NNTP server to post and read news articles. Enter a host name or its IP address in the box.

***Create Gateway Mail Id

If you don’t have a profile created called inetgw, then select the radio button with the caption "The new user will be created later." Here {Anchor **} is how you create the profile. Otherwise, select the other selection.

Configuration Completed

This part of the installation is now completed.

POP Account Information [Comes up if user already created]

This allows you to add account information.

The Add Button brings up a window to add a new POP account.

Server Name: The name of the POP server to be accessed

Account Name: The User ID of the account

Account Password: The Password for the User ID above 

Direct Mail to:

Local MS Mail Mailbox - is used in Personal Mode

MS Mail User – The downloaded mail is directed to the mailbox of the MS Mail name that you specify in the Friendly Name Box below. This name can be prefixed by Inet:xxx@abc.com, Folder:foldername, Shared:sharedfoldername

MS Mail user based on mail header – This inspects the mail header for intended recipients by comparing the mail address to the available friendly names in the User Aliases section of the Office Options.

Press OK when all active fields are filled. You can then verify all the names to make sure they work by pressing the Verify button

The Delete Button deletes the selected Account Information

The Edit Button edits the selected Account Information

Local Name Associations

The Local Name Association window appears after restarting your computer. The first thing to do is to hit the Add Name button to add a user. You can direct messages to Local Mail, Shared Folder, or a Personal Folder. You enter the User’s Name into the box (e.g. John Q. Smith)

Afterwards, you can add an Association for example (jqsmith.) You can add many different associations to the name.

Once you have added all the users and their associations, push the verify button to make sure all entries can be resolved.

Once the verification process is complete and all entries are resolved, you then push the OK button.

Dialer Options

This gives you the choice of what sort of Dialer you wish to use. You were able to select this in the installation process, however this option in the Config Menu, allows you to change this afterwards.

You can choose to use the following

Winsock dialer if in WfW, Win95, WinNT

Dialup Networking (DUN) in Win95

Remote Access (RAS) in WinNT

The pull down menu gets its Names from the dialup networking section in Win 95 or remote access section in WinNT

To do this, double click on the My Computer Icon and then open the Dial-Up Networking folder. Then double click the Make New Connection Icon and follow the instructions.

Idle Condition: This tells the server what to do if the connection is idle for a specified period.

Sessions: This allows all the mail and news sessions to be compiled concurrently instead of being completed one after the other.

The Schedule button allows you to specify when the mail and news will be retrieved during the day. It uses a twenty four-hour clock to do this. You can add, delete, and edit the access times for weekdays as well as weekends.

This should complete the installation process for Office Mode.

Personal Mode

The Personal Mode installation is the same as the office mode installation except that you won’t be able to retrieve mail using SMTP and that you can only direct mail to a local MS Mail Mailbox.

** NOTE: To create the profile complete the following steps.

    1. Open up the Control Panel
    2. Select Mail and Fax
    3. Click on the Show Profiles button
    4. Click on the Add button
    5. Choose the appropriate Mail Post Office Server and deselect the others
    6. Enter the profile name "inetgw" without the quotation marks.
    7. Click on Finish and the profile should be created.
    8. In the pull down menu below the profile listings, select inetgw as the profile to start Microsoft Windows Messaging.
    9. Then close the Mail and Fax.

Installation of Client Support:

Once this has been completed, you must distribute the client support from the Server.

This is done by using the Config | Distribute Client Support Menu option. This will send a message to the clients which will then enable them to send mail across the internet. Once the mail arrives at the client, they must run the executable in the message. This is done by clicking on the icon in the message. This will install the client side of the application. It will try to close down all mail applications. However, if it can't you should do it manually. You should also close down Microsoft Word 97 as it automatically logs on to the mail system. If it still can not complete its task, you can do a Ctrl-Alt-Delete and kill all tasks which are using the mail applications. The program should then be able to proceed with its installation. If for some reason, it can not, then you can do the following Manual Installation.

Manual Installation of Client Support

MS Mail Windows users:

Copy INETSPL.EXE, INETMSM.DLL, INETMSN.DLL, INETRMT.EXE, and INETMSR.DLL to the Windows directory of the client machine or to a shared directory which everyone has access. Once copied, each user must run INETSPL.EXE once to perform the initial configuration of the Internet Spooler.

MS Mail NT users:

Copy INTSPL32.EXE, INTMSM32.DLL, and INTMSN32.DLL to the WinNT/System32 directory of the client machine or to a shared directory which everyone has access to. Once copied, each user must run INTSPL32.EXE once to perform the initial configuration of the Internet Spooler.

Exchange Win95/NT users:

Copy NASXPL32.DLL, NASXPL.INF, and MERGEINI.EXE  to the Windows\System (Win95), WinNT\System32 (NT 4.0) directory of the client machine or to a shared directory which everyone has access to. Once copied, each user must run MERGEINI NASXPL.INF -m -q once (locally or from a networked drive) to perform the initial configuration of the Exchange System. After this step, an Exchange profile can be modified to include the "netApp Systems Internet Series" service. Exchange Profile management is performed in the "Mail and Fax"(Win 95) or "Mail"(WinNT/95) Control Panel applet.

 

Nemx Messenger (Client) - Frequently Asked Questions

 

Table of Contents

  1. Incoming mail has Inet Gateway as name instead of the name of the originator.
  2. Getting an error when installing Nemx Messenger Client
  3. Can't locate configuration message when running the client installer
  4. Errors when opening Exchange/Outlook/Windows Messaging
  5. Getting an error message saying "MAPI Spooler has exited unexpectedly"
  6. Sending mail messages to Personal Groups under MS Mail

1. Incoming mail has Inet Gateway as name instead of the name of the actual originator.

Why does "Inet gateway" show up on the from: line instead of the name of the originator. What do I need to do to install the spooler on a machine running Exchange or to check that it has been installed?

You need your email administrator to send you the client configuration utility. Once you receive this in your inbox folder, open the message, double-click on the INETCINS.EXE icon. This can not be forwarded from another user, it has to come from the server.

Back to Top

2. Getting an error when installing Nemx Messenger Client

The Status Window is displaying:

There are still mail applications active

Manually close all mail applications and

Select Yes to continue waiting, or No to cancel the installation

Depending on which services that you are running in the exchange client, it may take more than thirty seconds to close down. Try hitting the "Yes" button to continue. The mail spooler is most likely still running. Office 97’s version of Word, automatically logs in to the mail system, so this application might also cause this problem. You can close down applications manually by hitting Ctrl-Alt-Delete in both Win95 and WinNT and in WinNT choosing the Task Manager, followed by the Processes Tab. If MAPISP32.EXE is still running, then terminate applications running until it is no longer there. If after terminating all applications except the install, MAPISP32.EXE is still running, you should do a manual install .

Back to Top

3. Can't locate configuration message when running the client installer.

Did you send the configuration message from the server, or did you either forward it or copy it from another user. The configuration message has to be sent to the individual users from the server.

Back to Top

4. Errors when opening Exchange/Outlook/Windows Messaging

You are getting the following error:

3.0 Inet; Checkout for Remote; Mode 6; Inetmsr.dll.

This also appears each time a menu item is selected.

This problem is easily fixable by deleting the msmail.ini file which is in your windows directory.

Back to Top

5. Getting an error message saying "MAPI Spooler has exited unexpectedly"

This error message is caused by a badly formatted message arriving at the client.  This causes Exchange Clients to crash.  If you are getting this error, then you will need to upgrade you current version of our software to at least version 3.0.13.  Once you have this or a later version of our software installed, you should redistribute the client message to the client receiving the error message.  In the case that you are having problems with the Automatic installation, you can either do the manual client installation or copy the new version of the NASXPL32.DLL file from the Inet\Spooler directory to either the Windows\System directory (if using Windows 95) or the WinNT\System32 directory (if using NT 4.)

Back to Top

6. Sending mail messages to Personal Groups under MS Mail

When sending a piece of mail to a Personal Group using MS Mail, there will be a slight problem.  The mail message will be returned as MS Mail can't recognize the Internet addresses.  Hitting resend on the returned message should send out the message normally however.

Back to Top

2. On starting and running the Server program, get the following messages in the Status Window.

POP Server Connection failed (listen failure)

Winsock Communication failure, error = 91

The error 91 is failure to connect with the dialup networking component within 6 attempts.

If you are continually getting this error, then try manually starting the dialup access to see if you can connect without any user intervention. If you are getting prompts, then this will be the reason for the error.

SMTP Gateway Interface (inbound) failed listen Failure

Winsock Communication failure, error = -10048

The 10048 error is due to another application listening to port 25, the SMTP port. This could be another application or ourselves from a previous session that abnormally terminated. If you are not using the SMTP channel, you can disable this via the services dialog, which is accessible from the Config | Office mode dialog

POP Server (inbound) failed listen Failure

Winsock Communication Failure, error=-10048

This 10048 error is due to another application listening to port 110, the POP port used in the remote option. Again, this is probably due to some other application listening to the same port or ourselves if we abnormally terminated the last time. You can disable this in the Config | Office Mode | Services dialog box.

Back to Top

3. Mail System (MAPIX) Logon failed (rc = 80040111), will retry in 1 minute.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Features enabled = Personal, Office, News

Licensed for 5 users

Expiration date not set, product will not expire

Version 3.0.7

Copyright© 1994-1997 Nemx Software Corporation

Office mode enabled, 4/23/97 14:31:06

Mail System (MAPIX) Logon failed (rc = 80040111), will retry in 1 minute

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are three possibilities here:

    1. There is no exchange profile defined for our gateway.. To do this open up the control panel | Mail and Fax, and then push the Show profiles button. If the InetGW profile does not show then Add a new profile with that name. To add a new profile in MSMail or Exchange Server, do the following:
      • Select the type of service to be used. Then hit the Next button.
      • Give the profile the name InetGW. Then hit the Next button.
      • Give the path name to your post office on the server. Then hit the Next button.
      • Select your name from the list available, if your name is not there, get your administrator to add yours. Then hit the Next button.
      • Type in your password. Then hit the Next button.
      • Select your personal address book. It is recommended to change the name from mailbox.pab to something unique like Inetgw.pab. Then hit the Next button.
      • Select your personal folders. It is recommended to change the name from mailbox.pst to something unique like Inetgw.pst. Then hit the Next button.
      • If you want to start Exchange when you boot up, select "Add Exchange to the Startup group" otherwise, select "Do not add Exchange to the Startup group." Then hit the Next button.
      • You are now done, then hit the Finish button
    2. There is a problem with the InetGW login. First, go into the Control Panel | Mail and Fax | Show profiles and set the default profile to Inetgw. Then try logging into exchange using the InetGW profile. You should be able to get in with no prompts. If you do have prompts, you will have to update/modify the profile to correct the errors.
    3. The password in the Config | Office Mode of the Internet Server may be incorrect.

Back to Top

4. Mail System (MAPIX) Logon failed (rc = 80040605), will retry in 1 minute

This is a major problem. This error occurs because the Mail API can not be initialized. If you are getting this error, delete the profiles in the Control Panel | Mail or Mail & Fax | Show Profiles icon. Then uninstall Microsoft Exchange. Reinstall it and add the profiles back in.

5. Windows 95 locks up after hanging up the modem

There is a known intermittent problem with Microsoft's Win95 where Win95 hangs while disconnecting from an ISP when using the Dial-up Networking.

There are 2 possible workarounds, provided that you don’t also use your PC on a LAN using Netbios over TCP/IP.

Preferred:

1) In Control Panel, Network TCP/IP, Properties, WINS Config

- disable WINS Resolution.

If the above does not help try:

2) Rename file C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VNBT.386 to something else e.g. OLD_VNBT.386)

You should restart Win95 after applying either change to make sure it takes effect.

Back to Top

6. Messages are getting stuck in the Outbox of Exchange

There are two possibilities: either Inet GW is not defined or it is ambiguous (defined more than once.)

The way to check which it is; is to do the following:

  1. create a new piece of mail, sending it to the Inet GW user. (Type in the name on the TO: line.)
  2. hit the check names button.

If it is unresolved, you have to go and create the Inet GW user in the post office address book.

If it is ambiguous, check all the address books for multiple entries of the Inet GW user. If you find multiple entries, you should delete the entries out of all the address books except the main post office list.

Back to Top

7. MAPI spooler not found

When exchange starts up, you get an error dialog coming up stating "MAPI spooler not found."

The problem here is that MSMail was install at one time on this machine, but remnants are still around, causing the Nemx Spooler to look for it.

This is a registry problem. It can be resolved by running the regedit program supplied with Windows 95 and Windows NT.

Get into the registry ... HKEY_CURRENT_USER and then into the following directory: /software/microsoft/msmail Deleting this entire key will remove MSMail from the configuration correcting the problem.

Back to Top

8. Undeliverable Mail, no local users. Messages are being delivered to the administrator.

The problem here is that the addresses in the message do not contain either the main domain name or any of the alternates. This usually occurs when somebody is subscribed to a mailing list.

The first thing to check is that your domains and any alternate domains are spelt correctly.

If this is not the case, then the solution to this problem is to add a couple of lines into the TCPMDLW.INI file which is in your main windows directory.

The mailing list is a slight problem since it comes in and is to be delivered to many people who are not at the site. This problem can be overcome by changing the TCPMDLW.INI file.If you are getting undeliverable mail no local users, then This is how you would alter it:

    1. First off, look in the TO: or CC: or FROM: field for the person that it is supposed to be going to.
    2. In the INI file, add a mailing list section like the following:

[Mailing Lists]
mailing list identifier = list of MS Mail friendly names separated by semicolons.

An example is the following header.

Received: from PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM by PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM (LISTSERV-TCP/IP release 1.8c) with spool id 36136165 for MAPI-L@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM; Thu, 1 May 1997 16:45:22 -0400

Received: from abc.com ([207.30.181.35]) by gcsnt.abc.com (1.0.242) for

mapi-l@peach.ease.lsoft.com; 1 May 1997 16:41:03 +0100

MIME-Version: 1.0

Message-ID: <nV875db6.rsp-0e6f40a4@abc.com>

Date: Thu, 1 May 1997 16:41:03 +0100

Reply-To: MAPI Developers Forum <MAPI-L@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM >

To: MAPI Developers Forum <MAPI-L@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM >

The Mail List Identifier is in this case can be either the Internet name, MAPI-L@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM, the Friendly Name MAPI Developers Forum, or both as seen in the To: field above. Therefore, the code in the TCPMDLW.INI file would look like this.

[Mailing Lists]

MAPI Developers Forum <MAPI-L@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM > = jsmith; fjones; etc...

or

MAPI Developers Forum = jsmith; fjones; etc...

or

MAPI-L@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM = jsmith;fjones; etc...

Back to Top

9. Return Address for a particular user is incorrect.

This is caused by the friendly name in the user aliases being different from the name in the post office. This can be corrected by making sure that the two names in the post office list and the User Aliases match exactly. If they don't, we guess at the email address by combining the first name in the user aliases and the domain name.

If you want a different return address for a specific user than what we normally generate, you can do this by adding the following to the TCPMDLW.INI file which is in the main Windows directory.

[Return Addresses]
user1=user@newaddress.net
user2=xxxx@abc.net
...

If you have multiple post offices and you wish to have a different domain name based on the post office, this can be done by adding the following to the TCPMDLW.INI file which is in the main Windows directory

[MS Post Offices]
Nemx/Corporat=xxx.net
Nemx/Develop=yyy.net

This is of the form Network/Post Office Name = Domain Name

10. Unresolved/Ambiguous name in the Status Window

In the status window, it will also tell you if the error is in the user aliases or in the POP account definitions. To correct this problem, you would go to the Config | Office Mode, and then to either the User Aliases or POP account dialog box.

Hit the Verify button once this is done to determine if the names are Unresolved or Ambiguous.

1) Unresolved: you would correct the spelling there.

2) Ambiguous: This error occurs when there are multiple names which resolve to different addresses. To correct this error, you would make the names unique.

11. The Dialup Networking does not see all my dial up connections.

This is due to a limitation with Dialup Networking. For some reason, it won't let us see any connections greater than 20 characters. The solution to this is simply to shorten the name of the connection.

12. Losing connection to post office when connecting with Win95 DUN

If your post office is on a Netware server, when DUN is launched, there is a dialogue box that pops up stating the the Netware connection will be temporarily disabled while modem dials; This is ok since the DUN is successful. However, automatic dialup to retrieve email (unattended) is required; user does not want to click ok everytime dialogue box comes up.

Go into the ServerTypes tab in the DUN connection and uncheck the Logon to Network option. Also, uncheck the NetBEUI and IPX/SPX options in the same dialog.

13. Command Excution before, during, and after dialup

The Internet Server can be configured to launch command strings at various points in its operation,
namely start-up, termination, connecting to the Winsock, idle detection, and SMTP ready to accept
mail. The facility is primarily intended to setup and disconnect dial connections, however it is not
limited to only those functions.

To configure a command, edit the TCPMDLW.INI file found in your windows directory and add any of
the following lines to the [Server] section.


ConnectCmd = command string
IdleCmd = command string
StartCmd = command string
StopCmd = command string
SMTPINCmd = command string


For example:

ConnectCmd = RASDIAL myconnection
IdleCmd = RASDIAL myconnection /disconnect
SMTPINCmd = finger user provider.com

This would invoke NT's RAS dialup facility to connect to your service provider when the Internet Server
is about to go on-line and would then instruct RAS to break the connection once the Internet Server
has detected it is idle.

This example is for illustration purposes only. To use RAS, the Dialer Setup dialog would be the
method to activate RAS.

14. Unable to process Inbox Message (Invalid Gateway Request)

This error is someone sending mail directly to the Inet GW user or caused by corruption of the header of the message. There are a couple of things that can be done.

  1. There is a problem with the connection to the post office. As such the mail being sent to the local users is being returned to Inet GW. Send a regular message to a local user and await the response back from your "System Administrator." Inspect the message and determine the cause of the error.
  2. Log into MS Mail using the Inet GW user or into Exchange using the Inet GW profile. Check the Inbox for messages. If you find messages in here, then move them all to another folder, and bring them back into the Inbox one by one until the offending message has been found. It will usually be the first one in the list. Either delete the offending message, or forward it back to the sender saying that you had problems with the header of the message
  3. Go into the Config | Office Mode dialog. What is the name of the local administrator? If it is Inet GW, then change this to another user who can forward all the mail to other users manually.

15. User messages are being deleted on the Server where Messenger is running

If you are using Exchange (which is now standard with NT/95), then the Exchange profiles are probably sharing the same post office and address books.

  1. Go into the Control Panel, then hit either the Mail or Mail and Fax Icon
  2. Hit the show profiles button. Select the Inet GW profile (if this is one of the mailboxes with the problem, otherwise choose the one with the problem), and hit the properties button
  3. Select Personal Folders and hit the Properties Button. Make sure that the file name in the Path edit box is unique. Then Hit the OK Button
  4. Select Personal Address Book and hit the Properties Button. Make sure that the file name in the Path edit box is unique. Then Hit the OK Button

16. Unable to send mail to local user (rc = 13) Message left in inbox

This error is caused by an attachment which is too big or has been lost.

  1. Check the amount of Hard Drive space available on both the post office machine and the local user machine
