SYMPTOMS
There is no command-line tool to set the maximum Inbound connections in SMTP. However, there is a command-line tool to set the maximum Outbound connections.



CAUSE
During Setup, you must specify an NTFS-based directory for MailRoot, but later on Setup states that you do not need NTFS on your remote mail store. Under MailRoot Directory you set up Queue, Badmail, Pickup, and Drop.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem:


 * After you complete Setup, go through the SMTP Administrator GUI and set up a directory for mailbox. You can set it up locally or on a remote share, regardless of name.

NOTE: The directory can be created on either NTFS or file allocation table (FAT) partitions.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Commercial Internet System (MCIS) version 1.0.
