This means that Exim has detected an error trying to deliver the message, and it is going to hold the message and try again later.

Step 11 : Click on the magnifying glass icon to view the message in a new window.

In this message we can see that it’s not delivering to user@hostdens.com because their mail server is giving us back the error of Mailbox quota exceeded.

Step 12 : At the top of the message you can choose to Delete Message which will completely remove it from the mail queue.

Or

you can choose to Deliver Message Now which will attempt to send the message again, in this case if the user has freed up some space on their email account it should go through successfully now.

That’s it !! 🙂
