omresub usage to retry delivery in Internet mail gateway que

Had a networking issue that kept outgoing email in the que for a while, now I'd like them to be delivered now. Not wait till a retry period occurs.

with postfix I would use postsuper -r ALL

With scalix it seems I should use omresub -q UNIX since they are in the Internet Mail Gatway que.

/opt/scalix/bin/omstat -q UNIX show 3 messages

But the command
/opt/scalix/bin/omresub -q UNIX

doesn't process them but gives the error.
omresub : [OM 4002] There is no error queue by that name

Ideas?

omresub doesn't make sense for the UNIX queue because unlike the ERROR queue and the SMERR queue, there is a service which is supposed to consume messages on the UNIX queue - i.e. The Internet Gateway.

If the Internet Gateway is already running, it may be that the first message is large and taking a long time to process.

Use "omstat -s" to show which processes are running.
You can start the Internet Gateway using "omon unix" if it isn't running already.

Turned out that the system didn't have a route to the DNS server.
