Hi There...

We are running Postfix 2.6.14.


What we are seeing is that one of our client sent a bulk email yesterday
using their LYRIS mailing program.



*-bash-3.2#  zgrep LYRIS  maillog-20140701.gz | wc -l*

*6826*



So 6826 got through but there’s a few thousand missing they reported.



Looking further into this, I can see about 4000+ resets from their IP
address, so this might correspond to the missing emails not having been
sent. Not sure if my hunch is correct or not.



*-bash-3.2#  zgrep 10.84.66.53 maillog-20140701.gz | grep RSET | wc -l*

*4637*



I'm not entirely sure what these RSETs are but they could be that the
customer was hammering our mail server and we ran out of smtpd
connections/processes to handle it.



Talks about it here:
