I have a e-mail that's been sitting in my queue all day.. when I send
an alrm to qmail-send and look at the logs it says:
qmail: 950643271.549190 delivery 1649: deferral:
Connected_to_208.16.216.36_but_connection_died._(#4.4.2)/
so I tried to connect to the host with telnet, and pinged it and as far
as I can tell the host it down (the remote host)
so I looked-up the mail exchangers for the domain:
Non-authoritative answer:
meyersbros.com preference = 100, mail exchanger = mailin2.excell.net
meyersbros.com preference = 50, mail exchanger = mail.meyersbros.com
meyersbros.com preference = 200, mail exchanger = mailin1.excell.net
now, the mail.meyersbros.com server is the one that seems to be down,
and the one that q-mail's trying to send to.. but since it's failing to
send to that server, shouldn't it automatically try one of the others
instead?? I connected to both of the others with telnet, and they seem
to be fine.. so, why has my message been sitting in my queue all day?
