62 Message Security Troubleshooting Guide

The graph will look like this:

Here are the most common causes for problems with mail flow when you see
accepted messages in the Delivery Manager graphs, and the steps to resolve
them:

Internal Routing

Your mail gateway (or mail server) may be accepting messages initially, then
losing messages during internal routing.

Send a test to see what happens when mail is sent directly to your mail
server. Run an SMTP Message Test with the “Test an email from the data
center directly to your mail host” to find out what might be happening. See
SMTP Message Test.

After this, troubleshoot your mail server’s internal routing.

Messages Quarantine

It may be that most mail is being delivered successfully but some mail
messages are being filtered. Check your user’s quarantine to see if the
messages are there. See Manage Quarantined Messages for more
information about how to view and modify quarantines.

After Troubleshooting

After you’ve followed these steps, send another message from an outside
server (such as your personal Gmail address) to confirm that the problem has
been resolved.

Contact Support

If the problem continues after these troubleshooting steps, please contact
Support. If you are a directly supported Postini Customer, please log in to the
Postini Support Portal. Otherwise, contact your vendor, who can assist you.
