X400: Err Msg: Error 12 (Restarting MTA):... (132464)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 3.0
- Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 3.2
This article was previously published under Q132464 SYMPTOMS
Version 3.x of Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 may not be able to
successfully restart the gateway when you use a Restart Interval greater
than zero. The Restart Interval, as documented on page 89 of the Microsoft
Mail Gateway to X.400 "Administrator's Guide," determines how frequently
the X400GATE program automatically stops and restarts. The following error
is displayed when the gateway attempts to restart and fails:
ERROR 12 (restarting MTA): execv (N:\mailexe\x400gate.exe, argv) failed
The gateway may also produce an error:
ENOMEM (not enough memory)
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
A supported fix that corrects this problem is now available from Microsoft,
but has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to
