Force Qmail to send Emails in Queue.

Hello,

Qmail Queue Problem:

I would like to know how to force deliver the emails in queue. I have tried the solutions listed under the following section.

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/24092478/Force-QMAIL-to-send-mail-in-QUEUE.html?anchorAnswerId=23494093#a23494093

But still so many mails are remaining in queue. Also let me know if possible to force deliver each email separately using "qmhandle" or using any qmail tools.

Already tried "qmhandle -a".

Maybe You should take a look at maillog to find out why those deliveries fail.
The mentioned solutions (killall -ALRM qmail-send) instructs qmail to try all messages again, but it's for nothing if deliveries fail.

Do you not have the qmailctl script?

If so, enter "qmailctl doqueue" and you'll restart the entire queue sending...

However, I suspect that ravenpl is correct -- there is a REASON these messages are still in the queue -- they are not deliverable for a reason, and that reason should be gleamable from the log files for qmail-send

Hope this helps!

Tried installing qmailctl script and getting the following error while running the script.

/var/qmail/bin/qmailctl doqueue
Flushing timeout table and sending ALRM signal to qmail-send.
/var/qmail/bin/qmailctl: line 50: svc: command not found

Any ideas ?

I have also checked the log files. I was not able to find any reasons. :(

Hi,

Am sorry for the late reply. Finally i got the solution.Some spam mails was stopping the mails. I have blocked all the ips and now everything works fine now. Thanks for all your suggestions.

Thank you very much.

Also, you should verify whether or not, your domain IP is part of any RBL or CBL or not. If that is case, then also the messages will remain queued without getting transmitted and doqueue/flush / ALRM signal may not do any good.

Thanks
