MHS: Err Msg: Outpost: General File I/O Error

ID: Q126789


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Mail Gateway to MHS, version 3.0


SYMPTOMS

When messages with attachments are received through the MHS Gateway, the following error may occur:

Outpost: Could not create Microsoft Mail mail item
Outpost: General file I/O error


CAUSE

This error message occurs when there is a problem with the subdirectories under MAILDATA\ATT.


RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, check the following:

  1. Rights of ATT subdirectories. This should be read/write, and the subdirectories should not be marked as hidden.


  2. Check to make sure all 16 subdirectories exist under the ATT subdirectory (AT0-AT9 and ATA-ATF). If any of these subdirectories does not exist, create it by using the MS-DOS MKDIR command or by choosing the File Manager Create Directory command.
