Based on an *EARLIER* error, the "qmgr" daemon has decided not to
deliver this mail. It temporariliy switches deliveries from "lmtp"
to "error".
This is a safety mechanism that prevents Postfix from going crazy
and continuously beating a dead horse.
Therefore:
> You need to look earlier in the logfile. Look for fatal or warning
> records.
grep panic /the/maillog/file
grep fatal /the/maillog/file
Look for the first time that the problem happened, i.e. before the
safet mechanism kicks in.
