Thanks you in advance,

    Hello,

    You didn't say which version of MTA you're using: Sendmail or Postfix

    From the command line it's the same command, but probably different locations. For Postfix you can type:

    /opt/pmx/postfix/bin/mailq

    And you will see the messages Postfix is holding on to. Sendmail will be similar, but the directory to get the command will be different.

    Hi Eric,

    The version of MTA is Postfix. When I excute the  command : /opt/pmx/postfix/mailq, the message is displayed :

    /var/spool/mqueue is empty

                                   Total request: 0

    I'm sure that there are lots of  deffered message in queue. What is the difference between in log file (/var/log/maillog) and queue.

    Thanks you for your help,

    Hut

    There looks to be an error in your command.  The path should be '/opt/pmx/postfix/bin/mailq' , the response you should see is from /opt/pmx/postfix/var/spool/mqueue.  It is reporting back the system default of /var/spool/mqueue.   You most likely have Postfix installed from the OS as well which is automatically pre-pathed.

    Sorry for typing mistake. The path is " /opt/pmx/postfix/bin/mailq", but the resopnse is only /var/spool/mqueue. I removed Postfix from OS before install PureMessage. Could you give me some adivice?
