lmtpd over tcp strange timeouts banner mixed with logs ?

[Gregor Bruhin]

Hi,   As metionned earlier I get some strange timeouts from time to time (@ peak time) when sendmail tries to deliver mails to my backend: dsn=4.4.2, stat=Deferred: Operation timed out with [123.123.123.123]   I tried to debug the situation by sniffing and by testing myself what is happening by doing some telnets on 123.123.123.123 2003.   What I noticed is that some log message "<185> connection from [234.234.234.234] preauth'd as postman" is shown before the banner on the same line !   I just commented the syslog in lmtpengine.c       945 /*     946         disabled by greg, this seems to be the problem     947         syslog(LOG_DEBUG, "connection from %s%s",     948                cd.clienthost,     949                func->preauth ? " preauth'd as postman" : "");     950 */ Now everything seems to run fine... I tried to find out myself why this problem occurs but could not find any reasons ...   Am I the only one experiencing this problem (this happened with cyrus 2.1 and actual beta running on 4.8-STABLE FreeBSD SMP, multiple frontends sending mails over lmtp to this cyrus backend) ???     CU Greg
