Severity: normal

I am using amavis-ng in SMTP daemon mode with postfix. I have set it up
with a timeout value so amavis-ng doesn't get tell postfix that it has
it until it is done processing. The problem is if a message has a
problem being re-injected it drops the connection with the first side.
As it should a copy is saved the to problem directory. However the
message also remains in the queue. The next time the queue is processed
the message will be tried again. However as their is a problem with the
message it will again be copied to the problems directory and again left
in the queue. Obviously as the message is always going to fail it should
not be left in the queue to fail again. A single notification to the
administrator should be enough. What should be done IMO is once the
message has a problem it should be dropped from the queue and have a
copy saved as a message is that is quaratinied. This way a single copy
is saved that the administrator can deal with an re-inject as
neccessary, and the system does not continue to try to deliver the same
message over and over having it fail everytime. Adding a single line to
the SMTP.pm file allows this to happen. I'm not sure of the exact line
number but it is around 400-410 (at least on the version on my system).
The necessary line is shown below.
# First try to put the message into the problems directory.
if (AMAVIS->quarantine_problem_message($args)) {
+ $self->drop_message($args);
return 1;
}
# If that fails, reject the message

amavis-ng has been removed because it's no longer maintained upstream.
Please switch to amavis-new.
amavis-ng and amavis-new diverged a long time ago so I'm closing your
bug in the blief that it doesn't apply to amavis-new. If you can find
the bug in amavis-new too, please file a new bug report.
