HI all,
We have one ironport internet connection failed and due to that It is not able to deliver the mail outbound to remote domains.
We have suspended the listener for that ironport and also redirected all the mails with redirectrecipients command.
Please let me know how to revert the configuration for redirectrecipients.
How do we turn it off when you are ready for the Ironport to start processing its own mail again?
Regards,
Pravin

redirectrecipients is only a temporary use command. Once it processes the batch in current queue and finishes, the processing will resume back to normal operation.
There are certain times when an ESA may need to be shutdown/rebooted, or, there is a need to transfer NDRs, delayed messages, or messages in queue from one ESA to another ESA attempt delivery.
For this example, when issuing the command tophosts active_rcpts on the CLI, we can see that ESA #1 is has 104 messages in queue for cisco.com:
To force the queued messages waiting for delivery off the current ESA and to send those messages over to another ESA to attempt delivery, please follow these steps:
(Machine myesa.local.1)> redirectrecipients Please enter the hostname or IP address of the machine you want to send all mail to. []> XXX.YYY.254.158 WARNING: redirecting recipients to a host or IP address that is not prepared to accept large volumes of SMTP mail from this host will cause messages to bounce and possibly result in the loss of mail. Are you sure you want to redirect all mail in the queue to "[XXX.YYY.254.158]"? [N]> y Redirecting messages, please wait. 104 recipients redirected.
Note: The redirectrecipients command is a one-time only redirect.
