After much debugging I can finally send mails to the list :)

The problem is that the open-zfs.org mail server
(AwesomeProxy?) has a broken implementation of ESMTP's
pipelining, specifically if the end of DATA ".<CRLF>" is
sent together with the "QUIT<CRLF>" (valid for pipelining)
the send will timeout and never succeed.

As a workaround I've told our postfix server to force
disable pipelining for mail.open-zfs.net even though it
advertises it supports it.

For reference this involves adding the following to
/usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf:
smtp_discard_ehlo_keyword_address_maps =
   cidr:/usr/local/etc/postfix/discard_ehlo_keywords

/usr/local/etc/postfix/discard_ehlo_keywords contents:
# Openzfs mail server has broken pipelining
199.101.102.98/32 silent-discard, pipelining

cc'ed developer@ as postmaster@ often goes unread ;-)

Hope this helps.

   Regards
   Steve
