Shipping order expires
If the shipping server finds that a shipping order has expired, it attempts to return the packet to the originating host. Also, it sends an electronic mail message to one or more administrators on the original sending host, and sends another electronic mail message when the packet is returned to the original sending host.
On Windows®, if e-mail notification is not enabled, the shipping server writes a message to the Windows Event Viewer.
Use
the lspacket command to check the return bays on
your host. The packet files may have been returned by store-and-forward. If
so, try again to deliver the packet:
- Fix the store-and-forward packet-delivery mechanism (for example, by fixing the network connection). Then, use mkorder to create a new shipping order for each physical packet file in the return bay.
- If you cannot fix the store-and-forward mechanism, deliver the packet by some other means. For example, copy the packet file to a CD, and mail the CD to the remote sites.
If the packet files are not in your host’s return bays, they may be in transit. Search for the files immediately, because a packet that cannot be returned to its home host within 14 days is deleted.
