If the MTA’s working folder (mslocal) was located where the Server Migration Utility could not copy it, such as on a different volume of a NetWare server from where the domain folder was located:
Copy the mslocal folder and its contents to the desired location on the Linux server.
Edit the MTA startup file (domain.mta in the /opt/novell/groupwise/agents/share folder).
Set the --work switch to the new location of the mslocal folder.
Start or restart the Linux MTA, so that it reads its modified startup file, as described in the following section in the GroupWise Installation Guide for your version of GroupWise:
GroupWise 2012: Starting the Linux Agents as Daemons
GroupWise 8: Starting the Linux GroupWise Agents as Daemons
Continue with Post-Migration Tasks for a Domain.
