Hi Guys,

Hopefully this is an issue that someone knows, but sods law it probably isnt.  

We're currently running 2.2.7 (haven't updated ... yet).  All of a sudden since 
the christmas period (perhaps) we have started having a lot of mail sit in our 
postfix queue stating "lost connection with 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] while sending 
end of data" deferred.  It seems that 'particular' emails by the looks of it 
are being deferred whilst being passed to dbmail-lmtpd.  At first we thought 
that there may have been a spike over xmas of spam that's increased load a bit 
but increasing process childs, threads etc has not helped.  

The majority of emails that are being deferred do appear to be spam.  On 
tailing the logs we can't see anything really in relation to errors reported by 
dbmail-lmtpd and it seems to be sorting (sort.c) for most other emails fine.

As noted above we think this has started since around xmas, however, we may be 
wrong as it may have been ocurring before then and we just had not noticed it, 
along with an increase of spam this may have just magnified it.

I seem to remember a mime issue that was discussed a few months back and was 
wondering if this may be related, however, I can't remember if that issue 
resulted in a deferr after data.

Also, on another note, anyone know of a decent way of displaying an email in 
postfix's deferred queue without the strange formatting?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Kind Regards

James Greig
