All of a sudden (Monday morning - typical) we have starting getting this error:
postfix/smtpd[4696]: lost connection after DATA (0 bytes) from XXX... Which is resulting in the following bounce back to senders: Server refused mail at END OF DATA - 554 5.7.1 This message has been blocked because the return email domain is invalid.(failed to obtain DNS record for domain sendingdomain.co.nz) I have checked several times and changed DNS servers to test this but im totally at a loss as to whats happening. Ive found lots of reference to changing the MTU on the network card... but nothing that has helped me. Can anyone please shed some light on what could be causing this issue? Thank you!!!!
