Tracking Messages

Track a message by looking at the log files:

/var/opt/SUNWmail/imta/log/mail.log-current

Q: transient failure on delivery
 

You can also view the message queue by running:

% imta cache -view <channel_name>

imta test -rewrite verifies that an address is properly handled by the IMTA.

If you still cannot find a lost message, check whether it's being held, by looking for *.HELD messages in the channel queues.
