SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Mail Gateway to SMTP may display this error message:

ERROR Spawn (SMTPget): (2) No such file or directory

 * SMTPGET.EXE is not located in the same drive and path as SMTPGATE.EXE.
 * The PATH statement does not include a path to the SMTPGET.EXE file.
 * The actual network path (not the share drive and path) to SMTPGATE.EXE is longer than 64 characters.
 * Access rights are incorrect.
 * Files or directories of the Mail database are hidden or damaged (that is, MASTER.GLB, NETWORK.GLB, \KEY, \MBG and/or \SMTP).
