Hi I am having errors sending emails to a particular domain. Errors are below (actual ip and address changed): They appear multiple times, and to more than one address on same domain. Can't find much useful info on a 421 timeout error Any explanation and fix ? Cheers Daniel. -- ----------------------------------------Mar 1 14:15:23 git999 postfix/smtp[25750]: D2D41202D: host aaa.com.au.s200a2.psmtp.com[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] said: 421 Timeout - psmtp (in reply to end of DATA command) Mar 1 14:20:26 git999 postfix/smtp[25750]: D2D41202D: to=<abcd@aaa.com.au>, relay=aaa.com.au.s200b1.psmtp.com[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]:25, delay=86727, delays=86122/0.13/304/301, dsn=4.0.0, status=deferred (host Mar 1 14:25:26 git999 postfix/smtp[25833]: BFBC5F2BA: relay=aaa.com.au.s200b1.psmtp.com[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]:25, delay=259013, delays=258409/0.1/304/301, dsn=4.

is the remote MTA sitting behind a Cisco PIX firewall? the PIX has/had a crappy SMTP proxy implementation which tended to break smtp like this. postfix has config options you can use to workaround PIX bugs: smtp_pix_workaround_delay_time = 10s smtp_pix_workaround_maps = smtp_pix_workaround_threshold_time = 500s smtp_pix_workarounds = disable_esmtp,delay_dotcrlf it's been a few years since i had to care about such things :) so you could try googling for 'postfix pix workaround' if your destination smtp server is being buggered up by a PIX. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au> BOFH excuse #441: Hash table has woodworm
