Mail Queues

These graphs show the mail queues on our servers. The mail queues represent the total number of inbound mails travelling across our network to our customers. You can see mail queues over the last 24 hours, the week and the month. Each coloured line shows the queue status on an individual mail server.

Mail queues can form when inbound email is forwarded to the servers that deliver the mail via POP3 mailboxes, IMAP Webmail or SMTP servers. Normally our servers balance and process the queues so that mail delivery is not delayed by heavy load. However if a particular server begins to have problems handling the amount of email flowing through it (if targeted by spamming activity for example), the queues can build, slowing email delivery.

Our aim is to minimise mail queues as much as possible across the platform. Whenever mail queues begin to increase we address the issue by resolving the root cause, whether that be equipment malfunction or email load.

Our INMX mail servers are spread across 2 physical locations. The graphs below show data for the past 24 hours, the past week and the past month.

These graphs are updated automatically every 30 minutes.
