Messages getting stuck in outbox

Hi,
I would imagine this is a problem that comes up regularly here, so if anyone could direct me to a thread that deals with it...... ?
I need to send an email to multiple recipients I tried to do this but got a message back saying that the addresses weren't recognized. and then the email was consigned to the outbox, tried contacting my ISP about this, they tried to fix it but I am now unable to send ANY emails at all, they all just go into the outbox with an error message to check the smtp settings etc.
Thanks

Thanks Ernie, sorry for replying so late...
OK since my post the other day my regular emails have suddenly decided to start working again (sending okay.)
But the larger multiples still have problems. I am sending them in the Bcc field. There are around 60
addresses and I have successfully sent out mails using this email group before. It's true that several of them
bounce back being out of date or in some way unrecognized, I guess this is normal. but now I get a
message saying --"the server smtp.wanadoo.es did not recognize the following recipients"--
and there is a list of around 40 out of the 60 email addresses most of which look fine as email
addresses. This is an ISP issue I know, I am waiting for wanadoo to contact me again about this problem.
OK... Latest latest update is that I have just tried sending out emails 20 at a time (rather than 60) and they seem to
be going out OK. Takes a bit longer but I guess ISPs are getting tighter than they used to be about spamming.
Thanks for taking your time to reply the other day...

Email messages getting stuck in Outbox

I have regular problems with my sent emails getting stuck in my Outbox when using verizon.net mail. The problem only occurs with verizon.net and only on my tablet (Nexus 7), not on my PC. Both are on same wireless network so I don't think it is due to interruption in connection. Is there some adjustment I need to make?

Gmail is a deliberately broken implementation of IMAP that often causes problems with Mail. The problem seems to have gotten worse in Mavericks. Google has no incentive to make Gmail work well with any mail client, because the company makes money by delivering targeted ads via the Web. The Gmail servers analyze your messages to gather information about you and your contacts that Google can then sell to marketers, or to anyone who will pay for it. You agreed to those terms when you registered a Gmail address. The marketers—not Gmail users—are Google's customers and the ones it aims to please.
I suggest either not to use Gmail at all, or to access it through the website as Google intends. You might get better results with another email client. I don't recommend any one in particular.
If you insist on trying to make Gmail work with Mail, the following links may help:

Hello Naila1,
It sounds like you are unable to send emails, as they go straight to the outbox, but you can get the emails without issue. I recommend using the Connection Doctor to help you troubleshoot what is happening with the following article:

I use Comcast. My computer (Mac Air) also uses my iCloud and Me accounts. The message I get back says they are all offline.

My email gets stuck in outbox, how can I send it? It won't even go into draft by saving it.

Messages getting stuck in SMQ2

Messages get stuck in SMQ2 with the Error msg "SQL error on database occurred when accessing a table".
This is happening on PI system 7.11 SP04 with Max DB version 7.7.06.07.
This typically happens when sending messages from one BPM to another although it has more of a random pattern.
A corresponding dump is also seen in ST22.
The dump details are as below:
Runtime error : DBIF_RSQL_SQL_ERROR
Exception : CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB
Database error text : Invalid numeric value for parameter/column (10)
Internal call code : "[RSQL/UPDT/SWFRXIHDR ]"
Any help is highly appreciated in resolving this issue.
Regards,
Murali Narayanan

> The dump details are as below:
> Runtime error : DBIF_RSQL_SQL_ERROR
> Exception : CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB
> Database error text : Invalid numeric value for parameter/column (10)
I would update the kernel (plus the database interface library lib_dbsl) to the latest patchlevels and try again. If the error persists I'd upgrade the database to the latest patchlevel. If it still doesn't work I'd open an OSS call (BC-DB-SDB).

Message getting stuck in XBQO queue - Time limit exceeded

Hi All,
We have a BPM scenario in our project (on PI 7.0 SP18), where bundle of PEXR2002 Payment IDocs are received as a single flat file. This file is then consumed by the BPM, to split the message into multiple payments using Java Mapping.
However, when we get an IDoc file of size greater than 5 MB (more than 500 IDocs), the message gets stuck in XBQO queue and eventually giving a SYSFAIL with the message "Time limit exceeded". Could you please let us know if you have encountered a similar issue and are aware of a possible solution.
Any pointers to this will be really appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
ROSIE SASIDHARAN

H Rosie,
1) Goto SXMB_ADM-> Integration Engine Configuration->Parameter EO_MSG_SIZE_LIMIT->possible values 0 - 2,097,151 (KB)
The parameter EO_MSG_SIZE_LIMIT enables serial processing of messages of a particular size. This applies for messages with the quality of service Exactly Once (EO). If the message is larger than the parameter value, the message is processed in a separate queue.
2) Goto SXMB_ADM-> Integration Engine Configuration->Parameter HTTP_TIMEOUT->possible values n Seconds, where n is a whole number.
The parameter Specifies the timeout for HTTP connections (time between two data packages at line level). This value overrides the system profile parameter icm/server_port_n (for example, icm/server_port_0 : PROT=HTTP, PORT=50044, TIMEOUT=900). If you do not set the parameter HTTP_TIMEOUT or if you set the parameter to 0, then the setting for the system profile parameter is used.
See SAP Note 335162 for sysfail issue....
Hope these will help u....

Messages getting stuck in QRFC Queue

Hi,
Today I noticed that a message had gotten stuck with the status "Sheduled for Outbound Processing" (scenario IDOC->XI->File), XI 3.0 SP11.
This in turn had the effect that the whole QRFC queue got stuck, and all following messages got stuck with status "Sheduled".
I had to remove the first message from the queue manually so that XI could start to purge the other messages from the queue.
What could be the reason for the first messages getting stuck with this status ("Sheduled for Outbound Processing")?
The message was very small, just a couple of lines. One thing that comes into mind, is that XI received 4 IDOCS for the same interface, within one second. These 4 messages were assigned to different queues, but one of them got stuck. Could there be problems with XI when several messages arrive on the same interface within a very short time?
Is it possible to use Alerts to detect this kind of problem in the future? As I have understood, Alerts only handle XI "errors", but according to XI, this message did not have an "error status", it just had the status "Sheduled for Outbound processing"..
Thanks for any help,
Hans

Hi,
If the message got struck in Queue, you try to activate the queues in smq2 to reprocess the data instead of deleting it. This is the final solution. But you should able to see a dump in ST22 for this problem.

Messages getting stuck in tcp_local Channel

Hi All
Version
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.1 HotFix 0.01 (built Jun 24 2004)
libimta.so 6.1 HotFix 0.01 (built 12:52:04, Jun 24 2004)
SunOS dakota 5.9 Generic_112233-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440
Background
In the last week we've been experiencing problems with outgoing messages getting stuck in our tcp_local channel. They can stay for up to 4 hours before dequeuing. We plan to install Patch 116568 which is the latest core patch for our version of the Messaging Server.
To date we haven't experienced any DNS problems and have not made any configuration changes.
However I was just wondering if anyone had come across this type of problem before? We're hoping the patch will resolve the issue but would be interested in other alternatives.
Thanks in advance
Paul

You'll have to do more research before I can offer help. . .
It's not unusual for some messages to be retried, and depending on the destination, that may take a while.
Some outside domains are always slow. If you have many messages queued for such outside domains, they can involve the whole server, and cause mails to queue up behind them.
Many installations create a new channel, such as, "tcp_slow", and use rewrite rules to move messages addressed to these domains (aol, hotmail, earthlink, etc.) into this separate channel. You can "tune" that channel differently, and messages there won't block tcp_local.

Messages gets stuck up in active state

Hi ,
In our production environment, we are facing strange issues for the past 1 week.
Issue 1:
Messages gets stuck up in active state. In our message tracking mechanism ,the status is successfully sent to destination party. The message should not hold up in active state in first place?
If we restart the Host instance, it is creating duplicate and processing it which is creating misssing ICR issue.
Per day message flow-200 messages
Please suggest ?

Hi Girish,
I believe OFTP adapter is not native adapter(in box) for BizTalk Server.
So, is there any logging mechanism in OFTP adapter?
Also, can we connect to the FTP server using some other tool like Filezilla etc. If other 3rd party products are also not able to connect to this server then we can say that its not a BizTalk issue.
Thanks,
Prashant

Messages sent from secondary mailboxes getting stuck in Outbox.

I have two users who recently began having a problem with messages sent from secondary mailboxes getting stuck in their Outbox.
The details:
We're using Exchange Server 2010 version 14.03.0224.002
Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1
Office 2010 version 14.0.7140.5002 (32-bit)
The user in question whom I will call Jane has full rights and send as rights to the department's mailbox (which I will call "Common"), however, the Outlook profile on her computer is setup so that Common is the default mailbox
and Jane is a secondary mailbox.
The problem is that in the last few weeks messages send from Jane get stuck in the Outbox. We have recreated Jane's Outlook profile on her computer which resolves the problem, but only for a day or two before it begins to happen again.
Additional info: Jane logs into her computer and her email as herself. As stated above she has full rights and send as rights to Common. Common also has full rights and send as rights to Jane's email.
We have used this setup successfully for many years for several of our users. The problem started with one user a few weeks ago and now a second user who accesses a different Common mailbox is having the same problem. Both systems have been
thoroughly checked for viruses and malware, etc.
Anybody got any ideas?

The same thing happens to me. Really irritating. However, even after rebooting, the mail is sometimes stuck in the outbox. Anybody have a solution?

Sending mail with attachment from Photos App get stuck in Outbox

Hey,
As it is described in the title, the photos I have previously selected in Photos App ( by clicking send > by mail ) get stucked in my Outbox.
In opposition to some other discussions, I can edit/delete that stucked mail, and even send it if I manually click again on "Send" from the outbox !
Other funny conclusion : If I copy&paste the photo and compose a new message from the Mail App, the same mail isn't stuck.
I tried to delete/reconfigure my Exchange Account, it doesn't change anything.
Google Mail account configured with Exchange Account.

Hi,
Please run Word in Safe Mode to test if it's 3rd-party add-ins related:
Press Win + R and type “word.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
If there’s no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
We can also refer to the link below, to learn more and check the possible settings that may affect this behavior:

AAAHH HAA; I GOT IT!!!!!!!
The problem is your CONTACTS. STOP deleteing and playing around with the deleting the outbox, that ain't it. I found a post from some guy named Russ who is a Microsoft MVP, and the issue is that some of your contacts are messed up. Its got to do with the display of your contacts, and adding them using a Phone/PDA. Easiest fix is when this problem happens do the following: 1. Click File and Work Offline; 2. Go to the Outbox and open the email; 3. Double click EACH email address you are trying to send it to (when you double click; it SHOULD open the contact card, BUT eventually you will get one with an error). Obviously the one/many with the error are the problem. Just go into your contacts and either fix the "DISPLAY AS" blank or just simply create a new contact card for the person.
Then try to resend: VOILA!!! Problem solved. I have done MUCH testing on this, and spent about 5-HOURS. Thanks MS. There are a TON of postings all over the web for this, and HOPEFULLY people will find this post.
***The problem has something to do with importing contacts via an iPhone or ANY phone for that matter. Its not just the iPhone, even Windows Mobile phones have the issue.
After you recreate the Contact the messages will not be stuck in the Outbox anymore. If it happens again, just follow the directions cause you probably have another contact that has an issue.

Photos get stuck in outbox; can't share contacts via email

When I try to email a photo from one of my albums, it gets "stuck" in the (gmail) outbox. I have to go into the outbox and send again or it stays there indefnintely. Also, when I try to "share" a contact via email, it also gets stuck in the (gmail) outbox, and also needs to be manually sent again, and when it arrives, there's no contact information. Otherwise everything appears to work fine.

The same occurs with all accounts, or with one account in particular?
Even weirder is that I can forward these messages but can not send them.
Forward these new messages from where? You can forward a received message or a message that was successfully sent which will be located in the account's Sent mailbox, but you can't forward a newly composed message.
Even worse the outbox doesn't show up at all on my mac when i sync, so these messages are stuck in my iphone somewhere in limbo.
Email account mailboxes and messages and the iPhone's Outbox are not included with the iTunes sync process. Server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account, but the Outbox mailbox with the Mail.app on your Mac and with the iPhone's Mail application is not synced with anything.

Mail getting stuck in Outbox

I am using Outlook 2007 and exchange server. When send emails they oftentimes get stuck in the Outbox with a sent date of "None". If I restart outlook and try resending the messages, they will oftentimes go out. I am having to restart outlook 5 times a day right now. Any ideas what would cause emails going out through exchange server to just "get stuck"? Sometimes when I sent the emails and I watch the Outbox folder, the messages will appear in the outbox with a "sent" date, then after a second or so that "Sent" date will just change to "none" and the email just won't go out. Any advice on how to troubleshoot or fix?
One other note...some messages just NEVER go out 9regardless of how many times I hit restart outlook and hit send) and I need to rewrite them by creating a new message and sending and that new message.
NOTE: this appears to happen when I'm in a state where I am "Connected to Microsoft Exchange".

Hello,
I found a solution that worked for me.
See: http://www.slipstick.com/problems/outbox.htm
I followed the suggestions in the article and found that I had an add-in (that I did not need). When I disabled the add-in, my problem was solved.
Text of article follows:
After viewing the Outbox, the messages in it won't send.
If you click on the Outbox while messages are waiting to be sent, the messages are marked as read and won't send.
This is caused by a Net framework add-in you have installed that 'reads' Outlook items, including the Send to OneNote from Outlook PowerToy add-in and BCM (Business Contact Manager). A list of other add-ins known to cause this behavior is listed below.
To send the affected messages, you'll need to open the message, then switch to a different folder before clicking Send on the message. Do not go open the Outbox until after the messages are sent.
To identify the add-in that results in this behavior:
Look in Tools, Options, Other, Advanced, Com add-ins. Disable the add-ins and re-enable them one at a time and test.
Since BCM and possibly other add-ins are not listed in the COM add-in list, check
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins
Export the keys then change the LoadBehavior value to 0 to disconnect an add-in. Restart Outlook and test.
Applications responsible
The following is a list of some of the applications which are reported to cause message to be marked as read. If you use these or any other add-ins, check for a newer version - newer versions of some of these applications will not cause problems.
ICQExpress (COMAddin), installed as part of ICQ
Business Contact Manager (BCM)
Send to OneNote from Outlook PowerToy
Outlock
Outlook Backup Add-in
Sierra Wireless Outlook Integration - disable in the registry. It's listed at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\SwiOutlookInt.Addin
ONFOLIO
Timeslips add-in
Attensa for Outlook. Check for upgrade: newer versions not affected.
Cisco Meetingplace plug-in
MindJet Mind Manager 6. Disable the add-in in the registry - the key is Mindjet.Mm6OutlookLinker.AddIn.2
Google desktop "search your own computer", specifically because it searches the mail
ScanSoft PDF Converter Outlook Addin
Norton AntiSpam Outlook Plugin
Norton Internet Security
AIM Sync
LinkedIn Outlook Toolbar
Salesforce
Upshot Outlook integration
MS CRM 3.0 Outlook Add-in
Xobni
Auto-Mate
RingCentral Add-in
DesktopSMS.Addin
More Information
If your mail won't send and it's not the problem described above, other possible causes are:
Authentication problems: Are you logging on to the mail server correctly?
No default mail account. If you can reply to messages but not send new message, check the account settings and make sure one is set as default. When you use a configuration script created by your mail provider or import accounts, an account is not always set as default.
See Email Won't Send - Common Causes for more information.
