Problem: 
Fax Server - "Processed -502 messages but returned error -502 - Server unreachable (Mail Server) for the 0 in the batch" Message Appears in Windows Application Log.

Summary:
In Fax Server, RightFax Edition, using the RightFax Email Gateway, you may see the following event logged repeatedly in your Windows Application Log. Why does this error message appear, and how do you resolve it?

Error Message:
In Windows Application Log:

Event Type:                    Warning 
Event Source:                 RightFax E-mail Gateway Module 
Event Category:             None 
Event ID:                       3317 
Date:                              Date Value 
Time:                             Time Value 
User:                              N/A 
Computer:                     ServerName 
Description:                   CPTF:Processed -502 messages but returned error -502 - Server unreachable:                                       (Mail Server) for the 0 in the batch 

Cause: 
The RightFax Email Gateway is configured for SMTP, with a delivery direction of outbound, but no valid POP3 account details have been configured. Solution: Do not configure the RightFax Email Gateway for SMTP with a delivery direction of Outbound with Notifications if you are not sending outbound emails to Fax, or when no valid POP3 account information is configured. 
If the Gateway is being used only for notifications, set the delivery direction to Inbound (not Outbound with Notifications). Notifications are considered inbound messages, so this is the correct delivery direction configuration to route them to users' mail boxes.
