2 Emails stuck in mailq

Hello,

I have run

cd /var/discourse

.\launcher enter mail-receiver

mailq

and it shows for the last 2 hours 2 emails are stuck in the queue, (temporary failure)


i then run

tail -f /shared/log/rails/production.log less /shared/log/rails/production.log

and it didn't work

so then i try

tail -f /shared/log/mail-receiver.log less /shared/log/mail-receiver.log

and it didn't work

so then i exit, cd, then logout


and hope someone can help me here on meta?

Right, so i went into the Outlook of the Shared Mailbox that sent the emails, i can see they had a body but 4-10 MB of 5-8 attachments, and both a long chain of email. My admin UI attachment limit is 14MB and all file types were authorised.

I re-forwarded an email corresponding to the most recent of the 2 emails, reducing number of attachments, that worked quickly.

Now i shall clear mailq


cd /var/discourse

.\launcher enter mail-receiver

mailq

11306 Kilobytes in 2 Requests is still there


so i run

postsuper -d ALL

and get

postsuper: Deleted: 2 messages


run mailq agin for sanity, find that it’s empty

exit,cd, then logout
