- I recently managed to get my MX components hung up while attempting to update
- the MX logicals to match my new registered domain name. I noticed there was a
- problem when I discovered that my messages to test the new address were not
- being delivered. A STATUS command to MCP resulted in the error 'no such agent
- processes are running', while a show system did show that the MX processes
- existed. Attempting to restart the MX components resulted in errors such as
-
- %MX-F-AGENTALRDY, agent MX_UUCP is already running
- -SYSTEM-F-IVBUFLEN, invalid buffer length
-
- Restoring MX_logicals.dat to its original state solved the above
- problem. However, messages posted during the time that MX was not
- running correctly now appear in my queue in a READY state and have
- for several days. Other messages posted after I got MX running again
- are delivered correctly and promptly.
-
- What steps should I perform to cause these pending entries to be
- delivered. I can find nothing in the trace logs that indicates any
- MX component is attempting to process these entries.
-
- I have attempted a QUEUE READY command to no affect.
-
- Thanks for any helpful hints.
