66 Chapter 2 Mail Service Maintenance
Viewing the Mail Connections List
The Server Admin application can list the users who are currently connected to the
mail service. For each user, you see the user name, IP address of the client computer,
type of mail account (IMAP or POP), number of connections, and the connection
length.
To view a list of mail users who are currently connected:
1 In Server Admin, select Mail in the Computer & Services list.
2 Click the Connections button.
Checking the Outgoing Mail Queue
You may need to check mail which is waiting to be sent. If you have a message
backlog, or you have interrupted outbound mail, you may have a number of items in
the queue. Additionally, you may want to monitor mail delivery to ensure that mail is
getting delivered to both local and remote hosts.
When checking the queue, you see the message ID number, sender, recipients, date,
and message size. You can select a message in the queue and further inspect the
message headers.
To check the outgoing mail queue:
1 In Server Admin, select Mail in the Computers & Services pane.
2 Click Maintenance.
3 Click the Mail Queue tab.
4 To further inspect an individual message, select it.
Clearing Messages From the Outgoing Mail Queue
Your outgoing mail queue may have a backlog of messages. These are messages that
can’t be sent for any number of reasons: the message might be improperly addressed,
the destination server might be unresponsive, or the destination account may be over
quota. In such circumstances, you may want to clear any number of messages in the
queue backlog.
To clear a message from the outgoing queue:
1 In Server Admin, select Mail in the Computers & Services pane.
2 Click Maintenance.
3 Click the Mail Queue tab.
4 Select the message to be deleted.
5 Click Delete.
