Hello everybody
I'm struggling against what seems a really serious trouble: sometimes
mail get lost
I did all the possible checks, but they seems really lost - I know is
absurd, but it seems so
it has been noticed by two users on my server: intially I tought that
was their mistake (mail deleted, mail into spam, ecc), but it wasn't
I deeply checked mail logs, and it seems that mail are delivered (the
path is postfix->amavis->dovecotlda) - log files says that messages
are delivered, but sometimes we lost a message.
I also tried to get into the Maildir and grep the subject of the lost
email: if it was addressed to more recipients I'm able to get it on
some of them, but not to all (look at the example below)
I hope I have clearly explained everything, otherwise let me
knowmydomain
now an extract from the log file:

Oct 27 11:20:36 srv001 postfix/smtpd[24562]: disconnect from usstlz-
psecap06.emerson.com[144.191.128.17]
as you can see there was a message for o...@mydomain.ch (I obviously
changed the domain for privacy) - logs says that all the three users
got the email, but the third user didn't.
I do not know why and when it happens, but seldom we have this issue
maybe is there some kind of bug in the maildrop version I use? by the
way, I had this issue also before installing amavisd-new
now some infos:
CentOS 5.3
postfix-2.3.3-2.1.el5_2
amavisd-new-2.6.6-1.el5.rf
dovecot-2.0.11-1_126
dovecot-managesieve-0.2.2-15
dovecot-pigeonhole-0.2.2-15
users are on a Kerberized OpenLDAP
please help me because this is really driving me crazy -
don't leave me alone, please
Marco Carcano
