When the MTA starts, it starts one or more router threads to process the contents of its router queue (mslocal\gwinprog). As messages arrive in the router queue, the MTA starts additional router threads as needed, within parameters you can set using the /maxrouter and /idlerouters startup switches in the MTA startup file.
Displays the location of the MTA router queue. By default, it is located in the domain directory, but the location can be changed using the /work startup switch in the MTA startup file.
For information about router queue directory structure, see Troubleshooting 3: Message Flow and Directory Structure.
Queue
Lists the contents of the 0-7 priority subdirectories in the MTA router queue. Different types of messages pass through each priority subdirectory:
Priority 0: MTA restart requests generated by ConsoleOne® Busy Search requests for users whose post offices belong to other domains.
Priority 1: Novell® eDirectory™ user synchronization requests; message logging requests; GroupWise Remote client requests for GroupWise Remote users who do not connect to the post office where their master mailboxes are located
Priority 2: High priority messages to recipients whose post offices belong to the destination domain; domain database update requests
Priority 3: High priority status notification returning to senders from recipients whose post offices belong to the destination domain
Priority 4: Normal priority messages to recipients whose post offices belong to the destination domain
Priority 5: Normal priority status notifications returning to senders from recipients whose post offices belong to the destination domain
Priority 6: Low priority messages to recipients whose post offices belong to the destination domain
Priority 7: Low priority status notifications returning to senders from recipients whose post offices belong to the destination domain
