Because the sender is dropping the connection partway through.
Try asking the sender why that might be.
The problem seems to be on my end. It's as if I'm starting something
that is getting stuck and that the other end eventually times out after
a long delay. I'm just trying to figure out what I'm doing that could
cause a hang. Could it be ClamAV related?
We receive *thousands* of these dropped connections per day. Who knows
why, and who cares, unless it is interfering with legitimate mail that
someone is complaining about. If that happens, we simply call the
remote site and ask them to check their logs and to investigate why
*their* mail server is dropping the connection.
Could you be specific in why you think its on your end? I can't think
of many scenarios that would cause this unless you have unreliable
connectivity to the outside world or are having networking problems
of some sort on your system.
Some of the email involved comes from the Electronic Frontier Foundation
- (eff.org) and while most email is making it through there are some
messages that are being dropped after a long time of something on my end
- apparently - holding the connection open and their end finally timing
out. My end should not be doing that. I should either accept or reject
the massage. What I don't understand is Phil's comment that it is not
ACL related. I'm just trying to understand what is happening here. Where
to start looking.
