mtaFailedMessages
Module: EXTENDED-MADMAN-MIB
OID (symbolic): EXTENDED-MADMAN-MIB::mtaFailedMessages
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.334.3.1.1.2.1.1
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter
Access: read-only
Description: (EMA compliant) The total number of messages that have 'failed' MTA processing since the MTA was initialized. Possible 'failures' include encode/decode errors, translate errors, unable to route, etc. Protocol/association errors are specifically excluded as they are accounted for in other MADMAN MIB variables.
What is mtaFailedMessages?
A running count of messages that have failed MTA processing since the MTA started, covering things like encode/decode errors, translation errors, and unroutable messages (protocol/association failures are tracked elsewhere). A climbing count points to a mail-flow problem worth investigating.
