Hi,

This weekend my mailq filled up with messages that were de-spooled from my secondary mx after my server went back online. There are messages sitting in the mailq with apparently valid delivery instructions, but 'courier flush' isn't moving them out. There are some junk messages in there, could those be holding up the legit ones? Is there another way to get these messages moving? Other than the 170 messages waiting for a home, all mail is flowing as expected.

If the mail queue is above a certain size, 'courier flush' is not going to reschedule every message in the queue.

After doing 'courier flush' examine syslog to determine whether a delivery attempt was made for those messages; and if not why it was deferred.

After more 'courier flush's the valid emails finally went through.

On an unrelated note: Sam, what email client are you using that adds the 'Re:' _after_ the [courier-users] in the subject? Or do you do it by hand?

He's using Cone, of course:

X-Mailer: http://www.courier-mta.org/cone/

Turn on "View Headers", and you'll be able to see it :).
