Hi there,
I am getting lots of emails claiming the following "delivery temporarily
suspended: conversation with, 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] timed out while
receiving the initial server greeting" . I am seeing this message show
up to the local user and also to the remote sender inbox too. The
messages to both user accounts are definitely originating from my
postfix server - IPs and message IDs verified.
Ive seen a few messages on the subject matter after using my favorite
search engine but wondering what the latest story is on what could
create this added mail delivery issue. Granted nothing changed on my
configuration for over 2 weeks now so it was an introduction based on
something caused by "normal" operation did.
restarting postfix did not clear it. a reboot to the server (I know its
not a PC) cleared the problem.
Here is the partial message:
