Preserving Foreign System Message Information

Preserving Foreign System Message Information

This content is no longer actively maintained. It is provided as is, for anyone who may still be using these technologies, with no warranties or claims of accuracy with regard to the most recent product version or service release.

In some cases the information provided by the foreign system must be preserved in a MAPI message when messages are transferred through a gateway. Examples of information that might need to be preserved are trace information, message headers, and correlation identifiers (IDs).

The MAPI PR_TRANSPORT_MESSAGE_HEADERS property contains the message headers of the foreign message. If the foreign message is in the process of being automatically forwarded and is sent back to the gateway, these headers must be added back into the message. Dropping the header information can result in a message loop.

It is also important to keep track of the various IDs that a message might have during the transfer process. The following topic discusses these IDs:
