- Your definition of the logical FLQ_DIR is either missing or wrong,
- most likely. FLQ_DIR should point to the MX QUEUE directory
- ([MX.QUEUE], unless you specified some other directory at installation
- time).
-
- Also, you should make sure MX_MAILSHR and MX_MAILSHRP are defined as
- MX_EXE:MX_MAILSHR and MX_EXE:MX_MAILSHRP respectively.
