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 (gwenn4.nlm), resulting in a series of "Loader cannot find public symbol: symbol" errors on the server console.

Action:  Unload gwenn4.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 to 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 6.5 Administration Guide.
