• Disable outbound connections, preventing the channel from making new outbound
connections to this Peer MTA. Existing outbound connections are unaffected. This may
be a no-op for some channels.
• Clear delay. This clears any delay which may have been applied to the Peer MTA.
• Set 1 minute delay. Applies a one minute delay to the Peer MTA.
• Set 10 minute delay. Applies a ten minute delay to the Peer MTA.
• Set one 1 delay. Applies a one hour delay to the Peer MTA.
• Downwards force attempt. This clears any delay on the Peer MTA, enables it, and then
performs a "downwards force attempt" on any subordinate messages.
• Reprocess queue. This causes the Queue Manager to perform a routing calculation for
each recipient of every message currently queued on this Peer MTA. If routing or other
configuration changes have been made since messages were queued, this may cause
messages to be requeued on different channels or for transfer to different Peer MTAs.
• Connect MTA. Causes the channel to open a connection to this Peer MTA.
• Disconnect MTA. Causes the channel to close all open connections to this Peer MTA.
• Delete MTA. This allows an existing Peer MTA agreement to be temporarily deleted,
so that no knowledge of the Peer MTA will be maintained once all queued messages
have been processed and any open associations to or from the Peer MTA have been
closed. If the MTA is "permanent", then the knowledge of it will be reloaded from the
Directory the next time that the Queue Manager does a configuration reload.
• Timeout all messages. This allows all messages queued on the Peer MTA to be timed
out. The messages will be queued onto the Housekeeper channel for processing, and
non-delivery reports will be generated for any message recipients for which they were
requested.
• Delete all messages. This allows all messages queued on the Peer MTA to be deleted.
No non-delivery reports will be generated.

• Downwards force attempt. This clears any delay on the message, starts it, and then clears
any delay on its recipients.
• Reprocess. This causes the Queue Manager to perform the routing calculation for each
recipient of this message. If routing or other configuration changes have been made since
messages were queued, this may cause one or more of the recipients of this message to
be requeued on different channels or for transfer to different Peer MTAs.
• Delete. Deletes this message without any non-delivery report being generated.
• Timeout. Passes the message to the Housekeeper channel for processing. Non-delivery
reports will be generated for any message recipients for which they were requested.
• Reload. Causes the message to be reloaded from the queue directory.
• Abort. If the message is currently being transferred to a Peer MTA, this will abort the
transfer. This is a no-op for some channels.
