PFA Questions
Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Q:
Part 1. Can I use GroupWise 6 and GWIA and get my mail with a dynamic IP address. If so how? Part 2. I have been running PFA and GroupWise 5.5 for over a year and all was well. I had to reinstall GroupWise a few weeks ago and since then PFA is forwarding everything as a BCC to the postmaster and nothing to the users. I've read everything I can find and rechecked settings over and over again. I'm still running PFA 2.0 and have just found something about PFA 6.0 that says the line that shows the SMTP relay should show the domain name. If that is true about PFA 2.0 mine is not it just reads SMTP localhost. Help. Please what is wrong and what can I do about it?

The following might help you to solve your problems:
Part 1. Can I use GroupWise 6 and GWIA and get my mail with a dynamic IP address. If so how? or who do I ask?
PFA should work with GroupWise 6 just as well as GroupWise 5.x because it uses the standard SMTP protocol to communicate with GroupWise. You should also know that if it is just you trying to get your mail, GroupWise 6 can do it for you without PFA. You will only need PFA with GroupWise 6 if multiple people are sharing one account.
Part 2. I have been running PFA and GroupWise 5.5 for over a year and all was well. I had to reinstall GroupWise a few weeks ago and since then PFA is forwarding everything as a BCC to the postmaster and nothing to the users. I've read everything I can find and rechecked settings over and over again. I'm still running PFA 2.0 and have just found something about PFA 6.0 that says the line that shows the SMTP relay should show the domain name. If that is true about PFA 2.0 mine is not it just reads SMTP localhost. Help. Please what is wrong and what can I do about it?
If PFA is sending everything to the postmaster it is because it is not able to find the intended user on the GW system. Since GWIA is the point of entry for PFA you could look through the GWIA logs (may need to change the log level) for some signs of who PFA is trying to send to and maybe why GWIA doesn't match it to a real user.
