I want to thank everyone that answered. I tried changing the R E to
R W and restart the machine - however even after saving each file
with the change somehow it revert immediately back to the R E and
would not attempt to send the mail. I made a backup of the Q since
I didn't want to lose those messages but I really need to send them
off to the primary. Should I try copying the text files into the
primary? The mail belongs to clients and I'm sure some of it is
important.
Thanks for any suggestion.
You could make the E/W flag changes, manually copy the files to the
primary, and restart SIMS so that it pick them up, but then you'll
never know what is causing these to fail and that latent problem will
remain.
What does the SIMS log show? If you try the status flag change with
logging cranked up all the way, you should get something detailing
why SIMS is failing the messages.
We also could be missing something on the flag change. I don't have
an active SIMS machine any more to test with and I don't have any
detailed notes on this, but I did find example queue files that I
marked 'failed' and 'retry' for future reference. The "retry" one has
two recipient status lines, and they look like this:
R W 29-10-1998 11:56:59 0001 rcpt.1.domain rcpt.1.user
R T 29-10-1998 11:26:17 0000 rcpt.2.domain rcpt.2.user
I *THINK* the 'R T' one indicates that the message has already been
delivered to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
My deduction (i.e. could be wrong...) based on how SIMS queueing is
configured (and the Date header of the example message) is that the
date and time fields denote (in GMT) the last delivery attempt and
the 4-digit number in the 5th field is a counter of how many delivery
attempts have been made for that recipient. You MAY get a fix from
changing both the E to a W and that counter to 0000. Maybe.

The S.* files in the SIMS queue are plain text files consisting of
the message and its headers prefaced with lines containing the

fully documented the semantics, and I don't remember everything I

terminally failed message back into a retryable message by editing
the envelope recipient line(s) at the top starting with 'R E ' to
start with 'R W '
That is correct.
You'll have to restart SIMS for it to pick up the change.
