The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400, versions 3.0

SYMPTOMS

Version 3.x of Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 may display the following error: 

   Error 12 (restarting MTA): execv(c:\msx400\x400gate.exe, argv) failed
An error allocating memory may also occur.

CAUSE

A message to a large number of recipients was sent prior to a restart interval. This caused the gateway to run out of memory; thus, it was unable to start.

RESOLUTION

The memory is now compacted before restarting the gateway.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 3.x of Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Restart intervals are configured in the x400adm program, and instruct the gateway how often to stop and restart automatically.
