Re: [IMail Forum] QM stopping for some reason

in a perfect world that works great but in this case QM is not restarting. :( Tripp Allen wrote: Actually it already does this. When the queue manager shuts itself down, SMTPD will restart it within two minutes (if you have the auto-restart option on). The queue manager looks for locked files (files that were in process of delivery), renames them, and drops an error count line in the Q file. If this happens to a file five times, the file is orphaned and a message is sent to the administrator about the problem.

Look for ERR 005; you'll usually see this before the queue manager shuts itself down due to a fatal error. Tripp Perhaps this is a good one for the enhancements wishlist. When QM starts up, it could first do a scan of the log file and remove or rename any of the offending messages automatically. It could then send a notification to the server admin (already used for things like number of messages sent, etc..). It beats the alternative resulting in a down server.
