Re: SMTP Server Retry Question

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

Have you tried stopping MSF and starting again with *RESET?  Keep in mind,
this will try to resend EVERY email message it didn't get sent out.  From
the beginning of time.  :)

As far as being queued, it really all depends on what the IBM i saw.   If
it connected to your Mail router (in house) and successfully handed the
email off, to the IBM i, that's a success as the email is not in the hands
of your mail router.
