$SHOW QUEUE TCPIP*/ALL

You might see some stopped SMTP queues in there.

You can also increase the logging for the smtp symbiont. (renmove
comments in the $DEFINE commands below and set values to desired logging level.


$! TCPIP$SMTP_LOG_LEVEL value
$! Writes diagnostic information to the log file.
$!
$! 2 Enables logging of all information when the symbiont starts
up.
$! The Next Open File message is printed, giving the name of each
$! control file before processing begins. All mail headers and
mail
$! recipients in a control file are logged after control file
$! processing is complete.
$!
$! 3 Provides additional information about symbiont initialization
and
$! activity during control file processing.
$!
$! 5 Enables full symbiont diagnostics. For use only under the
advice
$! of <company> customer support.
$!
$!DEFINE/SYSTEM TCPIP$SMTP_LOG_LEVEL 2
$!
$!---------------
$!
$!
$! TCPIP$SMTP_NOSEY
$! Used with TCPIP$SMTP_LOG_LEVEL to print the full subject RFC
$! headers information. If not defined, the header is logged as
$! SUBJECT:<omitted>.
$!
$!DEFINE/SYSTEM TCPIP$SMTP_NOSEY 1
$!
$!---------------
$!
$!
$! TCPIP$SMTP_LOG_LINE_NUMBERS
$! Writes line numbers to SMTP logs. Includes the symbiont,
$! receiver, and MAIL$PROTOCOL (DEBUG.TXT) logs.
$!
$!DEFINE/SYSTEM TCPIP$SMTP_LOG_LINE_NUMBERS 1
$!
$!---------------
$!
$! TCPIP$SMTP_SYMB_TRACE
$! Logs all messages received from and transmitted to remote SMTP
$! servers. Used to trace the SMTP application layer protocol.
Any
$! nonprinting characters or control characters that are sent or
$! received are printed as \n, where n is the hexadecimal value
of
$! the character. For example, command lines and replies are
$! terminated with a <CR><LF> that appear in the log file as
$! follows:
$!
$! send buf=MAIL FROM:<jones@xxxxxxxx>\d\a
$! recv buf=250 <jones@xxxxxxxx>... Sender OK\d\a
$! In this message, \d\a is the <CR><LF>.
$!
$!DEFINE/SYSTEM TCPIP$SMTP_SYMB_TRACE 1
