Closed: The MTA cannot transfer messages to the destination. Click that destination to determine the last closure reason. For troubleshooting assistance, You can look up last closure reasons in Troubleshooting 1: Error Messages.
Suspended: The MTA is not currently processing messages for the destination because it has been suspended. Select the suspended destination, then click Resume so that the MTA starts processing messages for the selected destination.
Open Pending: The destination is in the process of opening and the MTA is clearing its holding queue for the destination. When this is accomplished, the MTA begins processing current messages and the status changes to Open.
Messages Queued
Displays the number of messages that are currently waiting for processing in the holding queue of MTA's local working directory (mslocal\mshold) for each destination. Typically, no messages are waiting unless a destination is closed or is backlogged because of unusually heavy message traffic or a slow WAN link.
Oldest
Displays the number of hours, minutes, and seconds the oldest message has been waiting for transfer to its destination.
Select one or more destinations, then click Suspend so that the MTA stops processing messages that need to be transferred to the selected destinations. For example, you could suspend message processing for a post office while backing up the post office directory.
All message transfer to the selected destinations will remain suspended until you resume processing.
