3.00 MS-DOS kbenv kberrmsg

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail Gateway to SMTP, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

When you run the SMTPGATE.EXE, the following error message will occur if the FILES= setting in the CONFIG.SYS is set too low:

   ERROR SMTPPUT: 201- X - X - Failure submitting message to mail
   database
   [tx] 552 Error in local delivery

CAUSE

Because this program requires the use of a large number of file handles, and if the FILES= statement in the CONFIG.SYS is set too low, the program will be unable to execute properly.

RESOLUTION

Edit the CONFIG.SYS, and increase the FILES= statement. Initially set the FILES to 40, and increase them as needed.
