cloned mx server, strange headers in sent mail

2011-01-18 Thread James Chase

Locking methods should overlap with those used by all programs otherwise files will be corrupted. Wietse Thanks, Wietse. I don't think postfix is corrupting any of the files. They are relayed via a transport map to the SMTP server of SmarterMail and then delivered to the users mailbox

viewing rejected mail or solving rejection

2012-03-05 Thread James Chase
Is there any postfix configuration that will allow rejected mail to be viewed or mail from a certain user to be saved despite reject/accept status for debugging? Postfix is blocking an incoming message saying mx1 postfix/cleanup[7139]: 6F3FBE4079: reject: header From: "ts2" from mta319.sina.

Could someone help me figure out which rule exactly is blocking this e-mail? We are trying to migrate a domain to another e-mail service and in the meantime the new service is sending mail from a domain that postfix accepts mail for.
