Hello,

I have configured two dovecot servers with director acting as
lmtp/imap/pop proxy server with 8 dovecot backend servers.

In our test environment we had no problem, but when we migrated to
production environment, our mail list server (it delivers mail through
lmtp) is having a lot of errors like this:

451 4.4.0 Remote server not answering (DATA output timeout) (in reply to
end of DATA command))

Proxy and backend servers are not loaded.

Any idea?

By now, I think I have resolved the problem. We have limited the rate at what list server delivers mail to dovecot. The default postfix configuration is:

lmtp_destination_concurrency_limit = 20
lmtp_destination_recipient_limit = 50

that is,

a maximum of 20 lmtp concurrence connections with a maximum of 50 recipients per connection. We have decrease to 5 and 10 and since then we have no more data output timeout errors.
