Article ID: Q130449

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, versions 3.2, 3.2a, and 3.5

SYMPTOMS

During the T1 phase of automatic directory synchronization (Dir-Sync) or when the requestor transmit process REQMAIN -t is run manually, the following error may be displayed:

   Fatal 113 Failure to send mail to Network/PO/$SYSTEM
   Requestor process failed.

CAUSE

This error may be caused by a missing INQUEUE.MBG and/or a missing INQUEUE.KEY.

This error message can also be caused by insufficient disk space on the server hosting the postoffice (PO).

RESOLUTION

Create a new INQUEUE.KEY and INQUEUE.MBG file.

To create a new INQUEUE.KEY file

   debug INQUEUE.KEY
   -rcx
   CX 0000
   :230
   -f100,32f,0
   -w
   -q

To create a new INQUEUE.MBG file

   M:\MBG> type nul > INQUEUE.MBG

Verify that the file was created by using the MS-DOS DIR command to check for the existence of a zero-byte INQUEUE.MBG file, and a 560K INQUEUE.KEY file.
