If you were running a recent version of MQ (which the build number and copyright dates do not suggest, compared to similar from my v6.0.2.1 version), then it could be an IPv6 standin.

Are you using IPv6? Are you running MQ v5.3 or v6?

if not it could also be a typo
possibly caused by using vi...

I just took over responsibility for this queue manager, so I'm not sure of the history. I see that there are 17 sender channels with the 'x'. I can't check the logs to see if any of them started because another overnight error cause the logs to roll over too quickly.

My guess (thanks to Michael Dag's hint) is that these are most likely obsolete channels which someone modified to prevent accidental starting, rather than just deleting. I will check with the application owner to confirm.

IPv6 addresses contain colons, such as ffff::123.123.123.123

I agree. I considered it possible that "x" was a display bug of some kind, from something that wasn't expecting an IPv6 address being given one.
