The /work startup switch of the MTAspecifies the location of the mslocal directory. It must be located on the hard disk of the serverwhere the MTA runs so it is always accessible. Adequate disk space must be available to holdmessages going to destinations that are temporarily closed.Initially, the mslocal directory is created as a subdirectory of the domain directory. If the MTA runson a different server from where the domain directory structure is located, typical locations for themslocal directory include: sys:\system on a NetWare ® server c:\ on a Windows serverTo move the mslocal directory to the server where the MTA is running, stop the MTA, the copy themslocal directory, along with all of its subdirectories, to the new location. Then restart the MTAand specify the new location using the /work startup switch.Historical Note: In earlier versions of GroupWise, the Message Transfer Agent (MTA) was calledthe Message Server (MS). Hence, the ms in mslocal. Some naming conventions were originallypreserved for backward compatibility.mslocalmmddxxx.nnMTA local working directoryMTA log files on NetWare and Windowsmsglogmmddmsg.nnMessage logging directoryMessage logging filesgwinprog0-7MTA "in progress" queue directoryPriority subdirectoriesmshold MTA holding directorydomainms0-7mtanameProcessing directory for MTAPriority subdirectoriesLocation identifierpostx0-7mtanameHolding directories for post officesPriority subdirectoriesLocation identifiergatewayx0-7mtanameHolding directories for gatewaysPriority subdirectoriesLocation identifierdomainx0-7mtanameHolding directories for other domainsPriority subdirectoriesLocation identifiergwvsscan Working directory for third-party virus scanning programsmtaconv Work area for 5.x to 4.x conversion
