Hello, I have been using courier-mta for years with the same config without problems.
Now I keep getting 456 Address temporarily unavailable on some addresses. The very strange thing is that there are times (rare) where the mail for these address are delivered normally. I have recently upgraded my Debian boxes where courier is used. The setup is special : there are 2 servers : * omallet.thefreecat.org : main server that receives all mail for thefreecat.org domain (and hosted domains). * miaou.thefreecat.org : secondary server (local at my home) that receives mails for a few accounts (the ones that get the 456 error now). "cat" is one of them. All emails for [EMAIL PROTECTED] are redirected to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I also have a catchall for @thefreecat.org (defined in aliasdir/.courier-default) that directs all mails to "cat" ============ Now, the catchall is working perfectly (this is how I get courier-users messages). So far, so good, no SPAM is lost <g>. All the non-thefreecat.org domains work perfectly too. If I locally (on the main server, omallet) do a : echo "hello" |mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] The mail is redirected to miaou and delivered fine. echo "hello" |mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] This one gets delivered too. But all emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (direct) are *most of the time* rejected with the 456 error (I say most of the times because I am sometimes receiving mails addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but they can be 2 days old). Digging in both syslogs I find : Jun 25 17:39:59 miaou courieresmtp: id=000086A8.467FD4F8.0000501D,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,addr=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Connection timed out Jun 25 17:39:59 miaou courieresmtp: id=000086A8.467FD4F8.0000501D,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,addr=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,status: deferred Jun 25 06:58:36 omallet courieresmtp: id=00111F87.467BCC6C.00007332,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,addr=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Connection timed out Jun 25 06:58:36 omallet courieresmtp: id=00111F87.467BCC6C.00007332,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,addr=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,status: deferred So this looks like a smtp problem but the link between omallet and miaou *is* also smtp. And I don't have network errors. I don't know where to search or how to get any more info to debug. Any idea *much* appreciated. Thanks in advance.
