Situation

Error when sending delayed delivery mail.
User gets C067 error when send mail is sent.
Error C05D when sending message.
POA also reports same error on the NGWDFR.DB.

Resolution

Move the current NGWDFR.DB to another directory, then send a delayed delivery message.  This will create a new NGWDFR.DB.  Then replace the new NGWDFR.DB with the old NGWDFR.DB.

NOTE: If error C05D occurs, the NGWDFR.DB is in the NGWGUARD.DB file but does not exist as a file.  To fix this, run structural rebuild on the NGWDFR.DB file in GWCheck.  To run structural rebuild select user/resource and put NGWDFR.DB for the filename.  Once run new NGWDFR.DB file is created for any new delayed delivery mail.

Additional Information

NGWDFR.DB file exists in the post office directory, but not in the NGWGUARD.DB.  This file will be in the OFMSG directory.
