Hello List,
I upgraded postfix and accidentally restarted it with the standard
postfix configuration file instead of my configuration file.
After about 100 bounced messages I realized my mistake and replaced
the configuration file.
My setup has fetchmail collect the E-Mails from some pop-servers,
deliver it to postfix who usually stores it in maildirs.
Fetchmail unfortunately worked perfectly, retrieved the mails and
deleted it from the POP server. It successfully delivered them to
postfix who replaced the n...@company.com with name@company.local but
then could not resolve the hostname:
> postfix/smtp[12235] D3F729435A: to=<name@company.local>, relay=none,
delay=0.1, delays=0.08/0/0.02/0, dsn=5.4.4, status=bounced (Host or
domain name not found. Name service error for name=company.local
type=A: Host not found
And then I got
> postfix/bounce[16947]: D3F729435A: sender non-delivery notification:
01487F069D
and then
> postfix/qmgr[24083]: D3F729435A: removed
Duh!
Does the "sender non-delivery notification" mean that my
misconfigured postfix succesfully sent out a message?
Is there any way to get those messages back?
Can you tell me something else that will ease my pain and/or save my
ass?
Thank you,
Marcus
