MTA Is Involved with Network Operating System or Hardware Problems

Problem: The MTA is interacting with the network operating system or hardware in an undesirable way.
Possible Cause: If you just updated the MTA software, you might not have unloaded the agent engine (gwenn5.nlm), resulting in a series of Loader cannot find public symbol: symbol errors on the server console.
Action: Unload gwenn5.nlm, then start the MTA, so that the newly installed agent engine is loaded along with it.
Possible Cause: The MTA server is running older software, resulting in TCP_HANDLER errors on the server console.
Action: Make sure you are using the most current TCP/IP stack for NetWare.
Possible Cause: The MTA server is overburdened, resulting in SYN attacks.
Action: Make sure overall server utilization is not too high. Increase the MTA’s tolerance for slow connections. See Adjusting the MTA Wait Intervals for Slow TCP/IP Connections in Message Transfer Agent in the GroupWise 7 Administration Guide.
