Hi Sam,

soft error on the domain.


The Debian package "courier-mta-ssl is a transitional package and can be ignored.  This system is not new, but years old (more than 5).  Nothing recently been done to it other than fail2ban. However, I've checked both with and without fail2ban services - no affect.



Before I posted, I checked mx and A record existence and could access hosted server from telnet - from the same system as Courier.



The recipient domain is eagleofva.com


nslookup -type=mx eagleofva.com

Server:        75.75.75.75
Address:    75.75.75.75#53

Non-authoritative answer:
eagleofva.com    mail exchanger = 20 eagleofva.com.2.0001.arsmtp.com.
eagleofva.com    mail exchanger = 10 eagleofva.com.1.0001.arsmtp.com.


nslookup eagleofva.com.1.0001.arsmtp.com

Server:        192.168.1.13
Address:    192.168.1.13#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    eagleofva.com.1.0001.arsmtp.com
Address: 8.31.233.64



Checked above on another computer outside of the courier server system - same results.



telnet 8.31.233.64 25

Telnet to dns produces same result.

I don't know what this means. There is no "courier mta ssl" package. Both 1.0.6 and 0.76.3 look like version of courier, with 0.76 being quite old. But I, presume, you only have one version installed.

Any help would be appreciated.


I know I'm missing something, but since I'm able to telnet send an email FROM the courier server to one of the servers in question, I think it must be a courier issue.  Could be wrong - been known to happen.........rarely.

Use the testmxlookup command to make DNS MX queries using Courier's resolver.

Prior to 1.0.10 a domain with a malfunctioning DNS server that fails IPv6 queries would result in this behavior, even on IPv4-only senders and recipients.



See what dig comes back with when querying the MX hostnames for AAAA records.
