For more details on the different delivery failures you can encounter, and how to solve them, refer to this page.

Pending status pending-status
After confirming your delivery, you can see that the status of your delivery is Pending. This status means that the execution process is waiting on the availability of some resources.
The Pending status can first mean that your delivery has been scheduled and is pending until the given date. For more on this, refer to the Delivery scheduling section.
If your delivery is not being sent and its status remains Pending, it can be the result of:
-
The MTA (Message Transfer Agent), which runs modules and processes on the delivery server and which manages email sending, may have not been started, or may need to be restarted.
To check this and to start the module if necessary, apply the following steps:
note note NOTE This operation can be performed with an on-premise or hybrid hosting model with access the the Campaign server (see hosting models). -
Check that your
mta@<instance>modules are launched on your MTA servers.code language-none nlserver pdump HH:MM:SS > Application server for Adobe Campaign Classic (X.Y.Z YY.R build nnnn@SHA1) of DD/MM/YYYY [...] mta@<instance-name> (9268) - 23.0 Mb [...] -
If the MTA is not listed, start it with the following command:
code language-none nlserver start mta@<instance-name>note note NOTE Replace <instance-name>with the name of your instance (production, development, etc.). The instance name is identified via the configuration files:[path of application]nl6/conf/config-<instance-name>.xml

The delivery may be using an affinity not configured on the sending server.
In this case, check the configuration of the traffic management (IP affinity) and use the Managing affinities with IP addresses field to link deliveries to the MTA that manages the affinity. For more information on affinities, refer to this section.
-
When too many campaigns are running, the delivery status remains in ‘Pending’ status.
The limit of simultaneous campaigns is defined in the NmsOperation_LimitConcurrency option. Default value is 10.
