Viewing incoming and outgoing mail queues

You can view the sizes of the incoming and outgoing mail queues and view messages on the incoming mail queue if there is a problem with mail processing. You will also be able to view any messages that have failed processing, though this is normally unlikely unless there is a particularly badly formatted spam message that has somehow escaped rejection by the MTA.

Viewing queue sizes

From the system status page you can view the current size of the queues. Go to the System status page and you will be able to see counts of incoming messages, failed messages and outgoing messages.

Viewing incoming and failed incoming messages

First connect with MultiTool then choose the Mail menu option. You now have options to view the unprocessed incoming queue and the failed incoming queue.

For the unprocessed incoming queue you will be able to view an individual message.

For the failed incoming queue you will be able to view an individual message, update it, delete it or requeue it. Messages that failed processing will be automatically deleted after 14 days.
