======Database query to make LAN Forwarding immediately attempt to dequeue all pending messages======

If VPOP3 cannot send messages using LAN Forwarding it will queue the message and retry periodically. Usually there is no need to do anything special if there was a problem with the onward mail server which has now been fixed, VPOP3 should soon retry the messages automatically (based on the value of the **LAN Forwarding Retry Frequency** setting in the LAN Forwarding configuration).

However, if you want to force a retry sooner, you can use the following SQL command.

If you want an extra bit of safety, see the [[running database updates within a transaction]] article.

At a command prompt in the VPOP3 directory run

  psql
  
(The password is 'vpop3pass')

Then, type

  UPDATE messages.outgoing SET nexttry=now();
  
N.B. VPOP3 does not need to be stopped while you do this
