release

If the specified message file is marked as held, it is renamed to remove the hold mark. The Job Controller, if running, is informed that the message is to be processed immediately, ahead of all other messages.

Available only in interactive mode.

release [-channel=name [-all]]  [-confirm | -noconfirm]
  [-log | -nolog] [id...]

Use the id parameter to specify the messages to release from .HELD status.

Run the dir sub command prior to running release. For example:

$ imsimta qm
qm maint> dir -held
qm maint> release 1

See imsimta qm Options for information on using the -channel, -all, -confirm, and -log options.
