2700.0. "Sender problem... corrupted mail queue ?" by ZGOV02::CHANGTSANN (CHANG TSANN @ZGO DEIL S'pore) Wed May 12 1993 06:52

    Hi there,
    
    I have a problem in my sender queue problem here ever since I upgraded
    my VMS system from V5.4-3 to V5.5-2 on my ALL-IN-1 V2.4 system. I guess
    the queue records got corrupted during the upgrade.
    
    I found that I have numerous(>50) entries in my sender queue that were
    sent out successfully but they got bounced back from my cluster sorter
    at a later time and then I have a lot of entries in my A1 mailbox. In 
    other words, these queue entries have been looping for 3 days within my 
    ALL-IN-1 system. I had checked MTILOG and MTIERR but found no errors.
    
    Here are some entries from SM MM DQ :
    
   *DON BEAUCHESNE       10-May-1993 07:32 R   0       A: CONSULTING CONTRACT STATU
   *J_TRACY                                R   0       Absence from Office

    What's more "weird" is that those entries marked with * are not valid
    local ALL-IN-1 username. I do not know how they ever got into the
    queue. I had tried resetting the sender retry count (SRL) to a smaller 
    number but these entries never get purged off. I had also searched
    OA$MTI_DATA and DISK$MTS:[MB$.MR.MSG*] but found no *.NBS files dated
    between 07-May-1993 and 10-May-1993. This means that the entries were
    sent and recreated with the current date as they bounced back.
    
    Well, can someone let me know how this could have happened and how can
    I update the queue entries to reflect the correct status ? Do I zero
    off the entry MAIL QUEUE in PENDING.DAT ?
    
    Thanks for any help. I have searched the conference but found no
    solution.
    
    Chang.

    Chang,
    
    the non-local usernames are auto-forwarded mail messages, there's
    nothing weird about them. If user A sends mail to user B who has
    auto-forward set to user C then when the Fetcher processes the message
    it reposts the message on user B's system with a sender of User A.
    
    I assume you've tried running the Sender interactively SM MM RS?
    
    if you think you have a corrupt Mail Queue record then you need to
    contact your CSC for support.
    
    regards,
