Microsoft Mail Gateway to SMTP 3.0

This article was previously published under Q134949

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.
