Re: [IMail Forum] Orpahned Spool Files - Invalid State MEssage

[Eric Shanbrom]

thee messages never completed coming in hence the "T" file. For IMail to deliver the message you need a "Q" and a "D" file. A "T" file will eventually turn into a "Q" file when it is ready for delivery. In most cases this is caused by an incomplete transaction on the SMTPD side.   The network Layer comments in the log everyone is asking about are left-over log lines from the development process and usually do not point to any issues.. These lines should go away in the next release   Eric S ----- Original Message ----- From: Travis Rabe To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2006 7:00 PM Subject: [IMail Forum] Orpahned Spool Files - Invalid State MEssage I have some abandoned files in the spool.  The QM viewer says there isn’t anything in there, but I see for files total.  They are similar in the following way.   Df75e013d0000155a.SMD Tf75e013d0000155a.SMD   and   Df4ef013d00001501.SMD Tf4ef013d00001501.SMD     It looks like the T file is the envelope for the main D files.  Why didn’t these get sent?  I have checked all four files and they are all good mail that should be sent.   Looking at the logs, it shows me this for one of them:   02:22 15:44 SMTPD(f75e013d0000155a) [207.228.46.66] connect 207.228.46.78 port 1036 02:22 15:44 SMTPD(f75e013d0000155a) [207.228.46.78] HELO davdgrp.com 02:22 15:44 SMTPD(f75e013d0000155a) [207.228.46.78] MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02:22 15:44 SMTPD(f75e013d0000155a) [207.228.46.78] RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02:22 15:44 SMTPD(f75e013d0000155a) [x] looking up davdgrp.com in HOSTS 02:22 15:46 SMTPD(f75e013d0000155a) [207.228.46.78] e:\IMAIL\spool\Df75e013d0000155a.SMD 22021 02:22 15:46 Network Layer(0000000000000000) Invalid State   And the other:   02:22 15:34 SMTPD(f4ef013d00001501) [207.228.46.66] connect 207.228.46.78 port 1033 02:22 15:34 SMTPD(f4ef013d00001501) [207.228.46.78] HELO davdgrp.com 02:22 15:34 SMTPD(f4ef013d00001501) [207.228.46.78] MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02:22 15:34 SMTPD(f4ef013d00001501) [207.228.46.78] RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02:22 15:34 SMTPD(f4ef013d00001501) [x] looking up davdgrp.com in HOSTS 02:22 15:38 SMTPD(f4ef013d00001501) [207.228.46.78] e:\IMAIL\spool\Df4ef013d00001501.SMD 31527 02:22 15:38 Network Layer(0000000000000000) Invalid State         There is nothing else in the logs for these messages.  SO, I know this was asked bfore and it is obviously false, but what does “Network Layer(0000000000000000) Invalid State” actually mean?  Because as I was writing this I just got another orphan and another in the logs.             ----------------------------------------- Travis Rabe
