Routing Problem

[lwoolard]

Our routing table has been changed with no backup kept of the prior settings that worked. We have reset the routes to what we believe were working, but we are still having trouble. omshowrt -q all give us this output:
SMINTFC internet scalix@127.0.0.1
SMINTFC internet,* scalix@127.0.0.1
LOCAL scalix,lccs
The problem we are having is that messages are not getting out of our domain. Messages sent within the domain are delivered. The messsages appear to be stuck in the Sendmail Input queue since the count is 16,000 and rising. The server is showing a heavy load. If we restart sendmail it accepts connections for a brief period and then we get this line if we do ps ax:
sendmail: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 19
We are running RedHat EL4. The installations of RedHat and Scalix are default.
Can anyone tell me what a typical routing table should look like? Our domain is lccs.edu. The host name is scalix. Thanks.

You need to do the following:

Code: Select all

omoff -w -d 0 router
omdelrt -m internet
omdelrt -m internet,*
omconfux -m internet -t internet,tnef
omon router

This will reinstate the internet route back to sendmail correctly.

Cheers

That took care of getting mail out, thanks. We seem to be handling current messages just fine, but the Administration Console is telling me we have 16,000+ messages in the Sendmail Input queue. The number of messages in the queue is not changing. It would seem that the number in the queue should be going down as they are delivered. How can we get the queue processed and get those messages delivered?
