SYMPTOMS

Microsoft Mail Gateway to SMTP may display this error message:

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

This indicates that the SMTP Gateway was unable to execute SMTPGET.EXE because of one or more of the following conditions:

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).
SMTPGET.EXE is corrupt or does not exist.

Ensure the above conditions do not exist, and then restart SMTPGATE.EXE.
