We recently installed a Fastpath 4 as a gateway from our Appletalk
Zone A to the University's Ethernet backbone. It is a Kinetics
FastPath4 with K-Star 8.0, prom version 4.1. The box is a J revision,
the one that's supposed to have all the hardware problems fixed.
In Zone B, there is a similar Fastpath.
In our Appletalk Zone A, I have a mailserver set up with Quickmail and
Gatormail mailcenters. In Zone B, there is a mailserver with only
Quickmail mailcenters.
My problem is that whenever anyone using QuickMail in Zone B tries to
send mail to people in Zone B, the FastPath A crashes, and has to be
power cycled and re-booted. The mere act of seeking Mailcenter A from
Zone B causes the FastPath A to crash.
However, I can send mail to Zone B without a problem. In addition, if
users in Zone B use the reply function in QuickMail to respond to mail
sent from Zone A, it comes through to Zone A fine. Conferencing also
works dandy.
There is no problem in sending Unix mail from other machines on the
Ethernet.
Does anybody out there have any idea what might be going on?
I spoke with tech support at CE, and at their suggestion, removed the
GatorMail mailcenter, but it made no difference. They also suggested
checking if files can be transferred from Zone B to Zone A, but it works
as it's supposed to.
Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry about the previous posting. Hopefully, this will be a little better.
