• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Mailman and the Plesk Mail Queue

DeanC@

Basic Pleskian
This is on a Plesk 8.2/CentOS server.

Mail seems to be coming and going just fine. However, for a couple of Mailman mailing lists, there will be entries in the Plesk Control Panel Mail Queue for days.

The sender will be, of course, something like, [email protected] and there will be a subset of the list subscribers in the recipients column.

I know that at least some of those recipients are receiving the mail.

What does that recipients list really mean? Is there perhaps one address, or a couple of addresses, among the recipients that are bad or to whom the mail is undeliverable?

I'm not getting, or don't appear to be getting, undeliverable bounce messages. Or, am I just not waiting long enough for an undeliverable notice to show up? I usually delete them after a few days. Does qmail keep trying for 5 days?

I'm just trying to figure out what's really going on with those few lists. I've searched and read for hours but don't see an answer to this problem here in the forums. If I've missed it, please direct me.
 
The maximum time in the queue is controlled by /var/qmail/control/queuelifetime. If that file doesn't exist (it doesn't in a default setup) this value defaults to 604800 (seconds), which is one week.
