I have a dedicated server running qmail. I've had no issues sending e-mails on a regular basis. This is my first mass e-mail to all my members and all the e-mail are getting stuck in queue. Messages in queue: 0 not preprocessed, 1 local, 6629 remote, 6630 total. Code (markup): When I log into plesk and restart qmail services it sends a good 30 - 40 e-mails and then stops again. I cannot sit here and restart this thing for 6630 e-mail lol Any suggestions? If you need some data just let me know what you need and I will get it. Thanks, Brian
What do the maillog states when Qmail stop sending the emails? Email may get stuck if your server IP is blacklisted OR blocked at various mail servers. What is the Qmail concurrency limit on your server? Lower limit means less number of emails are processed by qmail in a minute.
I had to sit there restarting SMPT Qmail for about 4 hours to send all these e-mail and I got about 1200 Failure Notices as well. Every time I restarted it the system sent maybe 30 to 40 e-mail. Will all plesk systems be like this?
Not really, if you are receiving failure notices, it's either you are sending emails to non-existent email addresses (don't take me wrong, I am only stating one of the reason) OR for some reason the emails are rejected by the remote mail servers.
I'll safely say I've probably gotten a lot of dead e-mails in the databases seeing the site is almost 4 years old. I was looking online but couldn't find a way to stop these e-mails from coming back. My current server ignores it
