Mailings: Mailing Status: Mail Queues: Outgoing

 

The Outgoing Mail Queue contains all the mail coming into your server.

 

Finding an Outgoing Mailing or Message

There are some filtering and search tools to narrow the view of outgoing mailings. From the Listdrop-down menu, select the list that you would like to view mailings for. To view mailings for all lists, select the "all" option.

 

From the Type drop-down menu, select the type of outgoing mailing that you would like to view outgoing mailings for. This will show mailings for that type associated with the list selected above. Select Any to view mailings of all types (for the designated list), and All mailings to view outgoing messages for all the outgoing mailings of all types (for the designated list). The other options allow you to narrow the search and view only a particular type of message. The following options will alwaysbe available in this drop-down menu:

 

    Any

    All mailings

    Completed mailings

    Unsent mailings

    All messages

    Completed messages

    Unsent messages

    reject-message

 

The following options may appear in the drop-down menu, depending on whether or not these types of items exist in the outgoing queue. If there are no items of this type, they will not be available in the drop-down menu.

    admin-notify

    admin-warn

    delivery-report

    digest

    held

    index

    mdigest

    owner

    owner-mail

    owner-moderated-posting

    server-disabled

    Transactional messages

 

 

In the Search field, any word or words in the message may be searched for. This will include the body of the message, the header, the footer, and the subject line. Multiple words can be searched for by separating them with spaces. For instance, if you are looking for an outgoing mailing that you know contained the word "ski trip," you would enter:

 

ski trip

 

in the search field, and only outgoing mailings containing that word would be retrieved.

 

Twenty mailings (emails sent to the entire list) from the current list are shown at a time. To view more, click Show more. Repeatedly clicking Show more will show greater numbers of mailings at a time.

 

You may change the sorting order of the mailings by clicking the up or down triangles next to ID, Date, List, Mailing Name, Subject, or Type. By clicking the top triangle, the sort order will be ascending (a-z); clicking the bottom arrow makes the sort order descending (z-a). Click nextto see the next twenty messages, previous to see the last twenty.
