Query re. undelivered messages

[ddougan]

My Zimbra instance (the open source version) is on a separate box from my gateway server, which forwards the messages to the MTA. This morning, I sent two emails, with PDF attachments of about 2 MB each, from a client site, using a local account there.

I checked the qmail log on that box and saw the two messages were sent out OK, but they didn't arrive in my inbox, nor did they end up in the junk folder.

I'm fairly new to Zimbra, so am not sure how to check the logs to see what happened, and would appreciate any pointers.

Thanks,

Des

I assume that your gateway server is the qmail log that you checked and it should have forwarded these messages to your internal Zimbra server, is that correct? Look in the Admin UI and see if there's any email queued and not delivered and also look in the /var/log/zimbra.log for a connection from your gateway at the time the were supposedly sent and see what happened on the Zimbra server.

Thanks for your reply. Although I could see the message queued on the client's server (name obfuscated):

there is no matching entry in my server's qmail current file, which is very odd. It's obviously not a Zimbra issue, but thanks for your assistance.
