I am having trouble sending email to a specific server
I got the following error
"lost connection with
mx.example.org [xx.xx.xx.xxx] while receiving
the initial servergreeting”
The operator says its my issue yet i have no problems with any other servers
that is nonsense because he can't know that - no other complaints don't
mean it happens here and there without take notice not does that message
alone means anything at all
"lost connection" is just the messenger that, well, the connection was
lost and is completly outside postfix scope, the only relevant question
is how often that happens and if a lter retry works which is expected
behavior
look below 8 lost connections to one server of hotmail
so what - 12 successful - the first was retried seconds later to a
different MX, the reason could have been our link, their link, one of
the routers between the servers at that moment - who cares?
so did your mail *really* fail or do you just have panic because you see
"lost connection" for no reason?
