Does something go wrong due to this (default) behaviour ?
On the contrary, everything is running smoothly.
If postfix says the message was accepted, that would be the end of it;
the SMTP timeout is *precisely* to keep clients like these from
hogging expensive SMTPD connections.
It's the whole reason to set timeouts in the first place - every known
networking protocol uses time limits to protect against resource abuse.
Of course. Timeouts must exist. The problem is that the client did not
disconnect by itself, so that a server timeout had to be used.
I just wanted to know - as I asked -, from other people's experience,
whether this is a known behavior of clients using some particular MUA
(perhaps under certain circumstances).
But, to repeat, there is no operational problem.
Thanks,
