[IMGate] Re: Problem with main.cf syntax
-Original Message- no, because we are in the smtpd_recipient_restrictions already Okay, got it. yes, see man 5 access Hadn't checked there. I was using the book instead. look in the log file to see why exactly. if the rejects are for header or body checks due to kr character set, you remove the kr from filter. This is found by inspection. :) Tried that unfortunately they could not enven provide a date or time and with the tousands of other responsibilities I have I want the onus to be on the user complaing to at least provide me with enough criteria to narrow the search. I though I would check the list for other tips. smtpd process to_recipients_bw whitelisting won't have any effect on rejects done by the cleanup process. Understood I have asked for the specific bounce messages but to date non have been supplied making it more difficult to track down the problem. egrep the maillog file Like I said I would do this but without more details I am not going to search a months worth of logs if the user isn't going to meet me half-way. I use grep and the logs regularly but I always ask for enough details to begin a search or I would spend all my time doing so. Email administration is not my only responsibility. Thanks for the your help it has given me a couple of other areas to check.

[IMGate] Blocked email
As previously mentioned I have configured two relatively new IMGate servers which were initially configured as inbound gateways. This has been running for about two weeks and with a little bit of fine tuning things are working great for inbound email. Now that inbound email is now working well I decided yesterday morning to take the next step and configured them as outgoing smarthosts for our Exchange 2003 and Imail servers. In the afternoon I received a call from one of our users stating that an email he sent to our lawyers from an Outlook client was bounced with the following error: The following recipient(s) could not be reached: R Henry Easingwood on 02/02/2005 3:44 PM There was a SMTP communication problem with the recipient's email server. Please contact your system administrator. charity.twu.ca #5.5.0 smtp;550 Error: ACL header_1 John Cherrington on 02/02/2005 3:44 PM There was a SMTP communication problem with the recipient's email server.

Can anyone tell me why this MIME type would show up in a message composed from an Outlook client to produce this header information. I should note that this users other email has gone out fine and I have not heard from any of our other 900+ Outlook users regarding a similar problem. I have left a message with this user to find out more about how he created the message, but he is not in the office.

[IMGate] Question about postmaster mail generated
Out of curiosity, how do others using IMGate handle the huge volume of postmaster email generated because of the email rejected by postfix? :-) Richard Edge=20 Senior Systems Administrator | Technology Services Trinity Western University | t: 604.513.2089=20 f: 604.513.2038 | e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | www.twu.ca/technology
[IMGate] Re: Question about postmaster mail generated
Thanks Len.=20 That's what I meant.. the notifications. Being a new installation I wanted to receive them so that I could monitor the situation but I guess I could do that through the logs etc. I just wasn't prepared for the volume. :-) I have to say it sure has made a difference here as the two IMGate servers are barely ticking over, but when I was using Imail as the gateway prior to last Friday, it couldn't keep up with the demand, often stopping and restarting the STMP service intermittently. The volume of spam we have been getting here has increased almost exponentially in the last 6 months.

If you're talking about the notifications sent by postfix, turn them off or reduce the msgs sent in the notify_classes, if the volume is too great. Len
