Queued for Analysis
This graph shows the number of email messages that are waiting to be analyzed by
the appliance.
Every incoming email message goes to the analysis queue first. Once the email
message has been analyzed by the policy in place, the email message is removed
from the unchecked queue. The email messages in the unchecked queue are
considered temporary data; a large unchecked queue indicates that the appliance is
receiving more email messages then it can process.
Queued for Delivery
This graph shows how many email messages are being delivered from the XMail
server.
Queued for Re-Delivery
This graph shows the number of email messages that were sent to the target SMTP
server but failed to be processed due to a temporary error, such as the server was not
reachable. The email message is moved to the resend queue to be resent by the
appliance. A large resend queue indicates that there is an email message delivery
problem.
Note: The number of email messages in the resend queue is an average number
calculated over a certain period of time (for example, five minutes). If the graph shows
"0.7 email messages in the unchecked queue between 8:00 and 9:00" this means that
between 8:00 and 9:00 the average number of email messages in the analysis queue
was 0.7. The data is stored every five minutes and the granularity on the graph is one
hour.
