The two entries in log file. I change a few things to protect my mail
server, client and sender. But you should get the idea.
This is how my mailserver system is setup.
cisco router - assp spam filter - postfix mailserver with mailscanner.
It is suspose to go to the hold folder. So MailScanner can pick it up. But
never makes it to that folder. I thought perhaps the assp was cutting out to
soon on the message. I have some disconnects around that time. But if that
was the case I thought I would have found more. But I observered most of the
day and have been running this assp setup for 2 months. Everything goes
fine. Before that was postini - router - postfix with mailscanner. I did
check the assp log and say the message went just fine. No errors. Thinking
maybe it was disconnecting to soon. But the servers are on the same shelve
with the same switch on the same network.
I asked my client if the if there customer was sending the mail was getting
a error message. He did not know. They just know the email was not showing
up. So I checked my normal spots. No dice. Then that is when I found it
stuck in the incoming folder.
I see the email three times in the log. All next to each other. I see the
connection from my spam filter. The hold header on the messag and the third
time with a message id.

I hope this helps some more. Unelss I need to turn on debugging or missing
it. I didn't see any error messages in the maillog. That the first thing I
looked for was error messages. Then I have something to follow.
Thanks,
Josh

Mail Before it goes through. The maillog show the message showing
up. Then that is it. The file stays in chmod 600. I found a
suggestion of putting -v behind pickup. All that seemed to do was
reqeue the message each time restarted postfix and get stuck again.
I have never had any problem before with postfix. That I know of.
Messages in the incoming directory that are mode 0600 are in the
process of being received by the cleanup(8) service. The entire
message has not yet been received, and so naturally does not get
delivered.
If there is a cleanup(8) process with the queue file open for write,
the problem is upstream in smtpd(8) or remote sender or in pickup(8).
Look for problem reports from cleanup(8) in your logs. Does the
message arrive from outside via SMTP or is it submitted locally?
Does pickup(8) or smtpd(8) log any problems?
