Environment

Novell GroupWise 7
Novell NetWare 6.5

Situation

Added the tcpinbound parameter in the MTA startup file.
Server now abends with EIP in GWMTA, Running process NGW-TCP Master Receive Process.

Resolution

The TCP Inbound Connections parameter in the MTA startup file was set with the square brackets around the number, I.E."tcpinbound-[80]".

Remove the square brackets in the MTA Startup file, so the line now reads "tcpinbound-80".

(Note: the number 80 is used as an example, set the tcpinbound connections to the appropriate size for your environment.)
