[Info-vax] Missing SMTP queue(s)

[Steven Schweda]

   E-mail on my main system (ITS) has stopped working (for no obvious
reason).  Apparently, the main SMTP queue has vanished.

ITS $ tcpip show version

  HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Industry Standard 64 Version V5.7 - ECO 5
  on an HP rx2600  (1.50GHz/6.0MB) running OpenVMS V8.4-2L3

ITS $ tcpip start mail
Starting execution queue TCPIP$SMTP got status %JBC-E-NOSUCHQUE, no such queue
%JBC-E-NOSUCHQUE, no such queue

   "SHOW QUEUE *smtp*" finds queues for other (stopped) cluster members,
but none for ITS.  For example:

ITS $ show queue *smtp*it*
Generic server queue TCPIP$SMTP_IT_00

Server queue TCPIP$SMTP_IT_01, stopped, on IT::, mounted form DEFAULT

Server queue TCPIP$SMTP_IT_1, stopped, on IT::, mounted form DEFAULT

   Note that IT and ITS are different systems.

   I'm guessing that the "no such queue" complaint refers to the missing
"Generic server queue TCPIP$SMTP_ITS_0".  And that the individual
TCPIP$SMTP_ITS_* "service queues" might get created if that generic
queue existed.

   Who creates this "Generic server queue" in the first place?
