The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

MTA shows too many gateways

Asked by ahossiein in Novell Groupwise, Novell Netware Network Software

Tags: Novell, GroupWise, 7.0.3HP

After a catastrophic server failure, the GroupWise system on our server needed to be
restored. However, we were unable to successfully get the GWIA to establish a link with the
domain restored from backup. The GWIA constantly indicated that the GroupWise link was closed, and the MTA constantly stated that the GWIA gateway was closed.

In order to produce a working e-mail system in the meantime, a new GroupWise domain was
created, with a different domain name than the original. The GroupWise software install went
without error, users of the new domain can now send e-mail internally and externally, and
receive e-mail from internal users, however, we are unable to receive e-mail from external
accounts into user mailboxes. The messages coming in appear to be properly received by the
GWIA and queued to the MTA, however, from that point the messages vanish, with no errors.
Verbose logging is enabled for the GWIA, MTA, and POA.

I have read several possible causes in Novell's knowledge base, such as conflicting port numbers, but those causes do not appear to be the cause in my instance.

The MTA says that there are 3 gateways open, when currently there is only 1 post office, on one domain in use, so I think there should just be 1 gateway. Am I right?

Could it be that the MTA or the GWIA is using or looking for the old gateway domain? If so, how do I make sure only the new gateway domain is used? If this is not the case, what could it be?

I have had no formal training on any Novell products, so please be patient with my ignorance. :)

I have the clearance from management to purchase a single support request from Novell, but
due to the expense, I want to exhaust all possible options before doing so. Management is urgent about this, however.

Thanks for any input.
