This is normally just greylisting on the recipient end. Mr. Vickers, I am currently out of town. Yes the error was to every domain I was trying to send mail to.

Shall update the list subsequently. Thank you for all your help I am much obliged. Khan Md. Ashraf I am back. I have setup the mail server up to connect directly with its public IP. Problem is resolved in as much as that the 'deferral' of outbound mail has stopped. And mail is delivered immediately. Though I am still unhappy that it is facing the big bad internet directly. Not on the DMZ as it was earlier. Trying to figure that out with the help of the person managing the firewall. I have rc.firewall script running. This script I use for NAT and fire walling and has served me reasonably well. It used to be hosted at projectfiles.com and sourceforge.net a while back and was part of the first release of Vector Linux 3.0. It is now available from here http://www.ledow.org.uk/linux/ Khan Md.

Ultimately, the deferral is on the other server which may not be your problem. Mr. Vickers, Thank you for you lightening reply. I am sorry I did not mention it earlier. But that was one of the immediate things I did upon the problem. I checked the CBL as well as well as http://www.mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx and this particular server is not listed. The IP of this server is not a NAT for any private network either. I am also sorry to say that I cannot break trust by giving out the IP/HOSTNAME of the server. If I may, I provide a obfuscated screen shot of the CBL check. mailserver_cbl_obfu.png as per attachment. The SuperTool list is long and I will not be able to provide a complete screenshot though I can assure you that the server or its IP does not appear there either. From what you say I think a thorough check of the settings is probably needed due the upgrade I would be happy to hear from you in case you can tell me off any other possibility for this problem Thank you once again for your reply Much appreciated Ashraf You'll find a backup of your configuration parameters in /usr/src/qtp-upgrade/backups/. There's a folder there of each time qtp-newmodel is run. You can compare the contents of the most recent backup directory against what is currently configured.

All help appreciated Ashraf If you tell us the IP/hostname of your server, we can look it up in the spam databases to see if you've been listed. Ultimately, the deferral is on the other server which may not be your problem. Mr. Vickers, Thank you for you lightening reply. I am sorry I did not mention it earlier. But that was one of the immediate things I did upon the problem. I checked the CBL as well as well as http://www.mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx and this particular server is not listed. The IP of this server is not a NAT for any private network either. I am also sorry to say that I cannot break trust by giving out the IP/HOSTNAME of the server. If I may, I provide a obfuscated screen shot of the CBL check. mailserver_cbl_obfu.png as per attachment. The SuperTool list is long and I will not be able to provide a complete screenshot though I can assure you that the server or its IP does not appear there either. From what you say I think a thorough check of the settings is probably needed due the upgrade I would be happy to hear from you in case you can tell me off any other possibility for this problem Thank you once again for your reply Much appreciated Ashraf You'll find a backup of your configuration parameters in /usr/src/qtp-upgrade/backups/. There's a folder there of each time qtp-newmodel is run. You can compare the contents of the most recent backup directory against what is currently configured.

No I do not have DK signatures on the server. I have been trying to figure why of it. I am still clueless. I am appending the bounce of one of the test mails I tried sending. Also the mail server is within the DMZ of the firewall. Could this be a problem 'Received: from unknown (HELO mail..com) (127.0.0.1)' Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mail..com. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. kmash...@gmail.com http://mail.healthsoftusa.com/webmail/src/compose.php?send_to=kmashraf%40gmail.com: Connected to 209.85.222.80 but connection died.

[qmailtoaster] Deferral problem.
Hello the List! All outbound mail from one of the qmailtoasters I've installed and manage is getting deferred. @40004ab217261e6d833c starting delivery 1: msg 3294474 to remote ash...@x.com @40004ab217261e6ec38c status: local 0/10 remote 1/60 @40004ab217f228d8bbd4 delivery 1: deferral: Connected_to_x.x.x.x_but_connection_died._(#4.4.2)/ I used qtp-newmodel to upgrade this server earlier since clamav was eating up all cpu time and essentially made the server fail. The only minor problem I had doing the upgrade was I had to update a few packages manually. After the upgrade it seemed to work without problem. But over the last few days I have this problem. Inbound mail does not seem to have a problem This is the current output of qtp-whatami qtp-whatami v0.2.3 DISTRO=CentOS OSVER=4.5 ARCH=i686 BUILD_DIST=cnt40 BUILD_DIR=/usr/src/redhat This machine's OS is supported, but this version/arch has not been tested In researching the list for info I thought perhaps the SPF setting was causing the problem and tried setting up an SPF record for the server. I have since removed the same and also set the spfbehavior settings to 1 from 3 In spite of these changes all outbound mail is getting deferred. All help appreciated Ashraf
