Explanation

The Communications Server SMTP (CSSMTP) application detected that storage use in the z/OS® UNIX file system mail directory associated with the ExtendedRetry statement exceeds 75%.

In the message text:

The job name of the task that started the CSSMTP application.

System action

Operator response

Contact the system programmer.

System programmer response

This error indicates that the UNIX file system that contains the mail directory is nearly full. If the mail directory reaches this condition, the CSSMTP application will stop. To prevent CSSMTP from stopping, perform one of the following actions:
  • Delete any files in the file system that you no longer need. Do not delete any files from the mail directory.
  • If target servers are available and receiving mail, use the MODIFY FLUSHRETRY,AGE=days operator command so that older mail messages can be processed from the mail directory.

If the problem persists, you can perform the following steps to stop the CSSMTP application and move the mail directory to a different file system with more space.

  1. Use the mkdir command to define the new directory.
  2. Copy the existing files from the old directory to the new directory.
  3. Update the MailDirectory parameter on the ExtendedRetry configuration statement to specify the new directory.
  4. Restart the CSSMTP application.

If the storage shortage for the z/OS Unix file system that contains the mail directory is relieved, message EZD1863I is displayed.

See ExtendedRetry statement in z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Reference for more information about the z/OS UNIX file system mail directory.

User response

Not applicable.

Problem determination

If you need to determine whether the target servers are having problems receiving the mail, see gathering diagnostic information about CSSMTP problems in z/OS Communications Server: IP Diagnosis Guide for setting up diagnostic traces.
