The above is a bunch of speculative noise. To report a problem:
- Provide configuration information (postconf -n, master.cf, ...)
- Provide detailed related logging (matching the queue-id and
any related earlier messages from processes with the same pid).
Also any related logging from master(8) about its child processes.
- Show a long listing of the problem queue file with permissions
and modification time as well as the current time reported by "date".
- Show the output of "postcat -q -eh <queue-id>" for the problem
queue-id.
Messages for which the SMTP client never sends "." may sit (incomplete)
in incoming for some time. Also if your operating system has buggy
poll or epoll code, daemon processes may hang intermittently and
be killed by the watchdog timer.
A message is incomplete while its permissions are 0600, and changes
to 0700 once cleanup(8) has received and post-processed (perhaps via a
milter) the entire message.
Without real evidence, you're on your own.
