is mail1 backed up? Or perhaps NT16?

[jmbeach]

A mail script I'm using on NT16 seems to be taking a long time to reach my mailbox. I'm wondering if mail1 is backed up. Or perhaps the queue on NT16 isn't getting picked up right away.

Thanks

actually is there anyway we are able to tell how many emails are qued? i mean that would be quite useful and would stop us asking these sorts of questions.

Well for a short time I had a MRTG page up that did that, but we're moving to cricket for server status so its down curretnly...

But yes, mail1 had a backed up queue- although the TODO queue was NOT backed up, so messages were going through unhindered if they managed to send on the first try. Someone was getting spambombed, so I put the domain in the badmail from and the queue has gone from 18000 to 9000 in about 30 minutes.

Cricket's quite cool I was just playing with that on the weekend trying to get my smoothwall firewall to use it so I could see some extra stuff like DHCP leases etc.
