The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.40, versions 2.1, 3.0, and 3.2

Here is a list of the system requirements for versions 2.1, 3.0, and 3.2 of Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400:

  • The number of file handles must be set to a minimum of 30. (In the CONFIG.SYS file, set files=30.)
  • You must have 430K of available conventional RAM.
  • You must have at least 5 MB of free disk space. When the Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 sends an X.400 message, it makes a temporary copy of that message on the computer that is running the Gateway (or wherever the TEMP environment variable points to).

    The mail/gateway administrator should try to anticipate a user's largest message and make sure slightly more free disk space is available.
