Hi all,

I have a policy service in my smtpd_recipient_restrictions

check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:2501

This is a greylisting policy service.

This afternoon I noticed the policy server crashed hard and was not
running anymore. And due to that mails where rejected with 451 result code.

Aug  5 19:37:14 yumbilla postfix/smtpd[30457]: warning: connect to
127.0.0.1:2501: Connection refused
Aug  5 19:37:14 yumbilla postfix/smtpd[30457]: warning: problem talking to
server 127.0.0.1:2501: Connection refused
Aug  5 19:37:14 yumbilla postfix/smtpd[30457]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from
........: 451 4.3.5 Server configuration problem; from=<x...@xxx.xxx>
to=<y...@yyy.yyy> proto=ESMTP helo=<domain.tld>

No real harm done really but if the service should be down longer than a
few minutes........

Is there a way to make sure the mails are accepted without the policy
service running?
