Introduction

X400 is a secure (in terms of obscurity) mail sending protocol, where lines are secured by routes, and messages are sent to known hosts only.

Procedures

The gwstat command shows connection log information:

S-dmau_root > gwstat mhs!aporter 
mhs!aporter.i    12/03-18:29:30 successful Transfer 
mhs!aporter.o    12/03-22:43:11 couldntConnect 
Retry: 12/04-03:59:54 

TXP x400 84 init

Requeue Messages

To requeue messages:

1. cd /<stxx>000/spool/m400/mtqueue/mhs!<gatename> or /<stxx>000/spool/m400/mta
2. mv @* ../../rts/in
3. Check to see if going out:

tail -f /<stxx>000/spool/m400/spool/log/mhs!<gatename>

4. If not, try txp -Fil45 -r to requeue.

Keep messages from expiring

To keep messages from expiring, edit the script /usr/lib/uucp/gw.hour and change -C1 to -Cdays, where days is the number of days back not to expire. It is important to change this back after mail has gone out.

Placing a Queue on hold

To place a Queue on hold,

chmod u+x Queue

After the problem is resolved, release the hold on the queue.

chmod u-x Queue

Displaying Queues on Hold

To generate the Queue Hold Report only, specify a large value for the -c option. This has the effect of suppressing the individual message counts. For example:

> /mail/nmbin/nmx400ck -c10000 -h 
Queue for mhs!testnet on Hold. 
Queue for mhs!_br on Hold. 
Queue for mhs!ftcu on Hold. 
Queue for mhs!ims on Hold. 
Queue for mhs!_ft on Hold. 

The Overflow Report and Queue Hold Report can be generated at the same time:

> /mail/nmbin/nmx400ck -c10000 -o -h
