Mail Queue > s cwd=/usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot

Delivering All Messages in Queue

Complete.
It says "complete" but it's still on mail queue
How can fix that?

It indicates the reason it cannot deliver in the message:

== [email protected] R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host
delivering 1QP8Yf-0001wv-R3 (queue run pid 10238)
LOG: retry_defer MAIN
== [email protected] R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host
LOG: retry_defer MAIN
== [email protected] R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host
LOG: queue_run MAIN
Complete indicates it completed trying to deliver. It does not indicate that it delivered, since there were error messages on the delivery attempt.

Hello :)

Spool file is locked (another process is handling this message)
The above message simply means the delivery attempt for that specific email is already taking place. The primary failure message you should focus on is:

remote_smtp defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host
This typically indicates the remote mail server can not be reached.

Thank you.
