Question about distribution lists

Question

I've create some distribution lists and added users to them.
When I send a message directly to the user I can see it in the rcpt user mailbox.
If I send a message to the distribution list to which the user subscribes, the unser doesn't receive the message in the mailbox
I've to set something to see this messages?

Answer 1

First verify that the user sending the email has permission to post to the list. Depending on how the list is set up, you may need to be a subscriber to send to the list, otherwise the message may be rejected.
The next thing to check is the the mail queue to see if the message is stuck there. I do this by connecting to the es_mail database (using sqlplus) and running a query like this:
select * from es_queue where queue = 5That will indicate if any messages are in the list queue (which is queue 5). If so, then it is possible that your list queue process is down. You can use the EM console to check the status of your list processes, or just run the oesctl command, eg:
oesctl show targetsThis will return the list of mail processors configured on the local server. To get the status, just pick the list name and run:
oesctl show status server-name:um_system:listThis should return something like:
server-name:um_system:list:110291835244465386 ----Heartbeat-----
