Messages remained in queue - deferred
807574Mar 16 2004 — edited Feb 20 2020NMS 4.15/patched.
Any local domain user who has Email forwarded to a non-local domain is not receiving the forwarded Email.
The NMS message queue is stacked up with thousands of messages for remote hosts.
The queue is set for 1 minute retries for 3 days.
PROCESSQ does not cause delivery.
A test was setup with a non-local host, and the NMS 4.15 server never even contacts the remote host for delivery. BIND is running on the same machine and NSLOOKUP resolves remote hosts fine.
Prior to this, all was working fine. We had to reinstalled NMS 4.15 and reload the LDAP database due to a corrupted disc. The same configuration was used.
This sounds like a DNS issue whereby NMS is not finding an entry for the non-local host MX, however, the DNS used on the server (which has one IP address) resolves everything just fine.
Any help appreciated !
