This Friday I did about 50 "sendmail -bv" commands in a loop to check some postfix aliases, which resulted in a lot of mails to the postmaster alias (which is distributed to about 10 people). The result was about 11 bounces of the following type: ##################################################################### Return-Path: <> Received: from mail01.example.org ([10.129.3.233]) by mail04.example.org (Dovecot) with LMTP id gl2gG3WyyE+faQAAUavrWA ; Fri, 01 Jun 2012 14:15:49 +0200 Return-Path: <> Received: from mx01.example.org ([127.0.0.1]) by mail01.example.org (Dovecot) with LMTP id zAL8MXCyyE8nLwAA3l+BKA ; Fri, 01 Jun 2012 14:15:49 +0200 RSET RSET ##################################################################### At the same time, the dovecot lmtp timeout errors occurred and not all "sendmail -bv" mails got delivered. Seems like a serious error and I will need to consider upgrading to 2.1 if the bug cannot get fixed in 2.0. Regards Daniel
