Hi, I'm using sendmail under Red Hat 7.1. Everything seems to be OK, but people is complaining about some returned mails. I can see the problem in the mail queue, and almost all the time the message error is (checking the maillog file):
to=<theuser@thedomain.com>, delay=1+23:57:45, xdelay=00:03:09, mailer=esmtp, pri=116941068, relay=webeaab.eaab.com.co. [200.24.82.49], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: connection timed out with webeaab.eaab.com.co
Until here, it sounds like the mail server in the other side is down or something.... the weirdest, spooky and strange thing is when some other user (in my same domain) send an email to the same user in the same other company ... and it gets through!
How that can be? Am I'm going crazy? Enough monitor radiation for me?
Thanks in advance for any help you can (if there is) give,
On other topic, in the maillog file I'm seeing a "command stream end of file while reading line user=myuser hot=[195.69.0.211]"
I've read about it, and this is what they say:
This message occurs when the session is disconnected without a proper
LOGOUT (IMAP) or QUIT (POP) command being received by the server first.
In many cases, this is perfectly normal; many client implementations
are impolite and do this. Some programmers think this sort of rudeness
is "more efficient".
The condition could, however, indicate a client or network connectivity
problem. The server has no way of knowing whether there's a problem or
just a rude client, so it issues this message instead of a Logout.
Certain inferior losing clients disconnect abruptly after a failed login,
and instead of saying that the login failed, just say that they can't
access the mailbox. They then complain to the system manager, who looks
in the syslog and finds this message. Not very helpful, eh? Refer to
the "Why can't I log in" question under "Problems and Annoyances".
If the user isn't reporting a problem, you can probably ignore this
message.
My question is.... is there a way to fix this? The problem is starting to grow, since on Monday there was only one user with the message, yesterday they were two, and I just noticed a third user with the same problem!
What is going on?
