MTA Status Box Shows a Closed Location

Problem:  At the MTA agent console, the Status box shows a closed location.

Action:  Check for details about why the location is closed. See "Displaying MTA Status Information" in "Message Transfer Agent" in the GroupWise 6.5 Administration Guide.

Action:  Check the configuration status for the closed location. See MTA Configuration Status Isn't Open.

Action:  Check the last closure reason. This information can help you determine the source of the problem. Common last closure reasons include:

Access denied
Cannot attach to server or volume
Cannot create/read/write files/directories
Cannot move files
Insufficient disk space
Insufficient memory
Insufficient system resources
Link or transport down
No path configured
Undefined link

See "Message Transfer Agent Error Messages" in GroupWise 6.5 Troubleshooting 1: Error Messages.

Action:  In Configuration Status Details, check the directory paths for mapped and UNC connections or the IP addresses and port numbers for TCP/IP links. Make sure the correct locations are displayed. Make sure the locations exist, and verify the database (wpdomain.db for a domain or wphost.db for a post office) is there in the specified location. Do not use NDS® paths.

Action:  If it is a new location that has never been open, verify the links between domains and post offices. See "Understanding Link Configuration" in "Domains" in the GroupWise 6.5 Administration Guide. Make sure mapped and UNC path specifications are in the correct format. Do not use NDS full context paths.

Possible Cause:  A domain or post office has been moved incorrectly.

Action:  When you move a domain or post office to a new location or change its link type, you must make various configuration changes in ConsoleOne. If the domain or post office becomes closed as a result, the reconfiguration changes might not have replicated down to the agent in the reconfigured location before other changes prevented the replication from happening at all. Rebuild the location database (wpdomain.db or wphost.db). See "Rebuilding Domain or Post Office Databases" in "Databases" in the GroupWise 6.5 Administration Guide. This will ensure the reconfiguration changes are replicated to the location. Then restart the agent for the location.

Possible Cause:  The MTA server has insufficient memory.

Action:  Make sure the server where the MTA is running has adequate memory. If the MTA starts running out of memory, it starts shutting down connections. See "Agent System Requirements" in "Installing GroupWise Agents" in the GroupWise 6.5 Installation Guide.
