Attempt to Deliver all messages in Queue doesnt work

[Snowman30]

For some reason ive found the Attempt to Deliver all messages in Queue link in WHM's mail queue pages inst working anymore...

on some servers it moves straight to complete as soon as you click on it, on others it just sits with a blank page and on others it says its doing it but nothing appears to be happening.

Is there a way to force it to work or a way to fix it?

I seem to be having this same issue now. I have about 2.5k messages in the queue from a user that ran out of space. They have enough space now, but I don't what to deliver all those messages one at at time.... Has anyone found a fix for this? I'm running version 9.4.1-C53

I have the same problem. 1053 messages in the queue and can only deliver if I manually click on each one. Could someone please tell me how to get the "attempt to deliver all messages" function to work.

[linux-image]

exim -qff

the load on the server may shoot high; but this will flush the mail queue.

The advice to use the command

exim -qff

is good, *BUT* the issue here is that

WHM > Attempt to deliver all messages in Queue

is not working properly. Period. If using the above WHM feature does not remove mail from the queue, but manually clicking on each one individually does, then again, this WHM feature is not working properly, and should be fixed.

I've added Bug 3271 to bugzilla.cpanel.net.

Spaceman, Please see:

they are asking for more details about the bug to continue...

Nearly a year after you entered this bug, I still see this problem on all of our cpanel servers. If you could reply to the question asked in bugzilla, maybe someone can look at this for us all

Are you, by any chance, using MailScanner? If you are then it won't work as it uses a different queue and you'd need to:

exim -qff -C /etc/exim_outgoing.conf

Otherwise, ignore me

We're not using MailScanner at this time (thanks all the same for the suggestion). That said, I don't know if this problem still persists and can't test it right now because all the messages on the queues for our servers are outbound, and I need a fair few inbound messages to be able test properly.

try running /usr/sbin/exim -bp |awk '{print $3}' | xargs -n 1 -P 40 /usr/sbin/exim -v -M from root prompt this will deliver all the mails which can be delivered.. :-)

I just updated this bug. It's still very much alive and well. "Attempt to deliver all messages in queue" is absolutely *not* able to deliver messages that can get delivered successfully if I manually click "Deliver now" against them - which is very time consuming!

[brendanrtg]

Setting up a cron to do it DAILY may do the trick?

/usr/sbin/exim -bp |awk '{print $3}' | xargs -n 1 -P 40 /usr/sbin/exim -v -M

Anyone?

Which command is recommended and whats the difference?

/usr/sbin/exim -bp |awk '{print $3}' | xargs -n 1 -P 40 /usr/sbin/exim -v -M

exim -qff

This works better i bealive....

How would I attempt to deliver email in the queue specifically for one user, e.g. user@domain.com?
