#VERSION=800 (is for GroupWise 8.0)
#VERSION=1200 (is for GroupWise 2012)
Cause
When a domain is upgraded to a new version, the MTA requests the updated DC files from the primary domain. With the new DC files in place the MTA then runs a recover on the domain database to update the version. However, if new DC files are copied into place manually before the MTA is updated to the new version the MTA will run the recover, but it will not be able to update the version because the agents are the incorrect version. The MTA will send out admin updates for the domain, MTA, and link records. After that the MTA will recognize the version difference in the DC files again and run the recover again. This loop produces and endless supply of admin messages flooding the system.
