Package: sendmail Version: 8.13.4-1 Severity: normal
the greet_pause feature works fine on "real" connections, that is whenever the sending side does elicit to talk to you. in the case of a sender connecting to your smtp port, then closing the connection before a single byte of data has been exchanged, greet_pause misfires. as the connection in question is already being closed, the problem is mainly the nuisance of lots of log entries. i'm attaching a tcpdump of one such connection. 193.154.160.103 is a queuing box that tries to verify my box's liveness (that's 193.154.164.188) and which does not always wait with shutting down until the smtp greeting is displayed. greet_pause misfiring means that after the fin is received and acked by my box, my box sends an unnecessary 554 not accepting messages, and logs the perceived badness of the other party. regards az -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (980, 'testing'), (970, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.30 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_AT (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages sendmail depends on: ii rmail 8.13.4-1 MTA->UUCP remote mail handler ii sendmail-base 8.13.4-1 powerful, efficient, and scalable ii sendmail-bin 8.13.4-1 powerful, efficient, and scalable ii sendmail-cf 8.13.4-1 powerful, efficient, and scalable ii sensible-mda 8.13.4-1 Mail Delivery Agent wrapper Versions of packages sensible-mda depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii procmail 3.22-11 Versatile e-mail processor ii sendmail-bin [mail-transpor 8.13.4-1 powerful, efficient, and scalable Versions of packages rmail depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libldap2 2.1.30-8 OpenLDAP libraries ii sendmail-bin [mail-transpor 8.13.4-1 powerful, efficient, and scalable -- no debconf information
