Hi! I've noticed a quite annoying problem with my cyrus setup. Some messages get delivered, but sendmail sees it as a delivery failure, and sends a 4XX error to the sending SMTP server/client. This makes the sending server/client retry the send, which ofcourse produces the same error again, and then another copy of the message appears in the users mailbox. This happens again and again until the users mailbox gets over quota.
I'd like to know what's causing this. It seems like its only some messages that produce this error. Other messages get delivered just fine with no error. (!?) Full headers of these "failed" messages can be obtained upon request. Yes, I have tried running "reconstruct -r" on the mailbox. Environment: Linux slackware Sendmail 8.12.1 - compiled from source on the local cyrus server Cyrus 2.0.17 - compiled from source on the local cyrus server Sendmail and cyrus have been compiled with SASL support and sendmail also has SMTP AUTH support compiled in, however I doubt that this has anything to do with the problem. >From the maillog: Nov 12 14:31:09 e2home-imap sendmail[846]: hAABDDkt012554: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, delay=2+02:17:56, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=cyrus, pri=18213656, relay=localhost [[UNIX: /var/imap/socket/lmtp]], dsn=4.4.2, stat=Deferred: Bad file descriptor If I forward the same message, it gets delivered without any problems. imapd.log doesn't have any clues either. Does anyone recognize this error? Is it an lmtp bug och a sendmail bug/malfunction? Any clues on what may be causing this? I appreciate all feedback I can get right now. :/ //Oscar
