The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail Gateway to MHS, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

The following error message may appear when Microsoft Mail Gateway to MHS is spawned by GWDEAMON.EXE (Netware Global Messaging's Deamon):

   Inpost: General file I/O error

CAUSE

Two MS-DOS environment variables (USR and MV) need to be set on the computer running GWDEAMON. Page 17 of the Microsoft Mail Gateway to MHS "Administrator's Guide" details these variables as follows:

   Set USR=ADMIN
   Set MV=server/volume:
   Set MV=F:\

where F:\ is a drive letter that has been mapped to the root of the volume with the MHS gateway installed on it.

MORE INFORMATION

GWDEAMON requires these variables similarly to MHS 1.5.
