There is no absolute method of seeing it was retired X times, however, you could calculate this by creating T and TQ accounting records and then counting the amount of times the RCPT was tried in the T file and the the amount of times the queue was tried in the TQ file.

Hello Everyone,

suppose due to some error responses we had to keep retrying sending message.
After few retries, it may succeed or finally bounce based on retry-after and bounce-after in config file.

So how to check number of retries attempted?

This value is not logged anywhere e.g. accounting file, status file or bounce file.
we can compute with the help of timeLogged,timeQueued in accounting file and retry-after, bounce-after value at that particular time.

But is there any better way to get the number of retries attempted per message?

Thanks

They are in the spool directory, the location of which can be found in the config file.  However, DO NOT handle the files while PowerMTA is running as it may cause PowerMTA to crash.

You can create a VMTA for testing

Code: [Select]

<virtual-mta test123>
<domain *>
file-format newfile-pickup
file-destination <path>$domain/$user
</domain>
</virtual-mta>

Or if you are looking for incoming, use the domain directive

Code: [Select]

<domain [domain-in-question]>
    max-msg-rate unlimited
    type file
    file-format newfile-pickup
    file-destination <path>/$domain/$user
</domain>

Configure PMTA to write the message to disk and view it there

hi Team,

Can you please help us in how to view the email content/body where we install PMTA in the server.

Thanks.

Try the last command in my signature and review the last error of the output.

If you are running windows, PMTA installs a service which you can start and set to start when the OS loads. You can also use the command prompt is that is easier for you "net start pmta"

(flying blind here)
Maybe the web interface is available?

If you run a command via the web interface you receive a error message when something is wrong.
I've never did the PMTA instalation so I do not know if the webinterface is the same proces.
It worth trying
