Hi,

while trying to upgrade from Postfix 2.1.5 to a newer version, i
experience problems with LMTP bounce handling.

old postfix version:
postfix/lmtp[13549]: E379B1C07E: to=<u...@domain1.tld>,
relay=lmtp.mx-domain.tld[XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX], delay=6, status=deferred 
(Authentication failed: SASL authentication failed;
server lmtp.mx-domain.tld[XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX] said: 501 5.5.4 undefined 
error!)

newer postfix version:
postfix/lmtp[31973]: 26F2FC12D: to=<u...@domain1.tld>,
relay=lmtp.mx-domain.tld[XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX]:2003, delay=5.7, 
delays=0.03/0.1/5.5/0, dsn=5.5.4, status=bounced 
(SASL authentication failed; server 
lmtp.mx-domain.tld[XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX] said: 501 5.5.4 undefined error!)

The newer version is bouncing the mail instead of deferring it. I
couldn't find any option to modify the handling of bounce/defer for
lmtp. From what i can see from the config, it seems that the default
configuration silently changed between the versions.

Config parameters from the old config:
MX1-OLD:~# postconf -n | grep lmtp
lmtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
lmtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/lmtp_passwd
lmtp_sasl_security_options = 
mailbox_transport = lmtp:lmtp.mx-domain.tld:2003


MX1-NEW:~# postconf -n | grep lmtp
lmtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
lmtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/lmtp_passwd
lmtp_sasl_security_options = 
mailbox_transport = lmtp:lmtp.mx-domain.tld:2003


If you guys have any hint how i could configure that MX1-NEW would
handle mails exactly as MX-OLD, i would be very thankful.

Greetings
Martin
