  ****************************************************************
  When configuring a mail session using the properties file based
  configuration command, it failed to create the
  mailTransportProtocol attribute.  The attribute will get
  created while creating the mail session using administrative
  console.
  The mailTransportProtocol attribute was missing because
  the attribute name was misspelled on the MailSession.props
  template file and it caused the properties file based
  configuration command to be unable to extract the attribute to
  the properties file.
  

Problem conclusion

• It is a bug in the MailSession.props template that the
  mailTransportProtocol attribute name is misspelled in the
  template file. This caused the attribute to be missed in the
  properties file when extracting the MailSession using the
  properties file based configuration command.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 8.0.0.4 and 8.5.0.1.  Please refer to the
