Hi,

Messaging server version is,

./imsimta version

Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.2-6.01 (built Apr 3 2006)
libimta.so 6.2-6.01 (built 11:20:35, Apr 3 2006)

I have been getting this above error on my mail server from last
4-5 days. I am getting complaints from end users that the users can't
send any mails using Outlook but I did check with my test user I can
send mail by using webmail.


The Failed MX lookup Errors also getting in my logs the error detail given bellow.

I tried stopping and starting msg service using stop-msg and start-msg to sort out this above problem but no result. :(

When I do check the tcp_local queue it has been growing every day as well the tcp_notification queue also.

/opt/SUNWmsgsr/sbin/imsimta qm su

This queues are increasing day by day.





One more thing is that I cant see a service/channel called CONVERSION running on my server when i do use this command.

ps -aef | grep conversion

root 6144 6000 0 11:14:28 pts/1 0:00 grep conversion



When i try to start it using imsimta qm utility, output shows as

qm.maint>; start conversion

QM-I-STARTED, channel was not stopped

qm.maint>;



Later I stopped and started conversion channel

qm.maint>; stop conversion

QM-I-STOPPED, channel stopped

qm.maint>; start conversion

QM-I-STARTED, channel started

qm.maint>;

I can see that on other servers the conversion channel is running and few msges are in queue. I do have other servers which running the same messaging server. But I am not getting why don't on this server. Where both servers having the same configuration.

Please, help me to sort out this issue.



Thanks in advance....
