The Me too... and it's the second time I cannot find any error log about such a failed delivery (I asked for more info the previous time it happened but so far nobody replied) so together with this report it seems the problem might be on the server side?
design or error: no transaction started by opensmtpd
Sometimes I see these warnings in my logs status=no_TA_started which is similar to sendmail's notice "client did not issue MAIL/..." and surprisingly some are from mail.openbsd.org. Is that by design of opensmtpd (open a session because there's a message waiting but by the time the new session is established that message has been sent over a different connection) or is that some kind of error?

Happened again for me. Anyone else?

Only the latter belong to a specific message, the former can contain multiple transactions, so logging a specific message id for them is somehow wrong (unless you restrict the MTA to perform only one transaction per session). PS: some MTAs have/log ids specific to each part of the protocol: session, transaction, recipient (and even specific to the server and client side if needed).
poolp: not sending e-mail using TLS
Why does poolp does not send mail after STARTTLS but then sends it without TLS? First: client_ip=199.247.13.58, client_name=mx-out.poolp.org. starttls=TLSv1.3, cipher=TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, cipher_bits=256, verify=NOT and then it aborts: status=no_TA_started next it sends the mail without TLS: client_ip=199.247.13.58, client_name=mx-out.poolp.org. mail= rcpt= msgid=<951cde3e200270a677e093218346e...@mostlybsd.com> -- Address is valid for this mailing list only, please do not reply to it direcly, but to the list.

When I send an email it goes from my local server to If your local server is online "most of the time" then you could use: - a proxy instead of an MTA relay on the VPS. - some VPN between the remote and your local server. i.e., don't store the mail ever on the VPS.
