The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail Multitasking MTA for Windows NT, version 3.5

SUMMARY

When you use version 3.5 of the Microsoft Mail Multitasking MTA for Windows NT (NT MMTA) as a service under Microsoft Windows NT, you will not have control over drive letter selection.

MORE INFORMATION

Each instance of the NT MMTA uses three drive letters, one for the home postoffice and another two for inbound and outbound message transfer. When you run the NT MMTA as a service, these drive letters are selected automatically by the service. As a result, you will see up to three additional drive letters in File Manager for each service instance.

NOTE: The NT MMTA service may use drive B, normally used for a floppy drive, if that drive is not installed.
