Sorry, my mistake. It was 10 minutes: Mar 30 15:08:53 mailtwo sm-mta[65928]: k2UD8pM8065928: from=<**thisone**>, size=241591, class=0, nrcpts=1, ... Mar 30 15:18:53 mailtwo sm-mta[65928]: k2UD8pM8065928: Milter(milter-amavis): timeout before data read Mar 30 15:23:12 mailtwo amavis[66548]: (66548) AM.CL /var/amavis/amavis-milter-k2UD8pM8065928: ... but amavisd used a 15 minute timeout. The milter timeout should be longer than amavisd timeout ($child_timeout). > Overlooking my configuration and the manual I have got the idea that > it's not exactly useful to have "E" smaller than any other of those > values. Right now it's set to: > T=C:15m;S:15m;R:15m;E:15m C and S can be fairly short, defaults are probably just fine. Indeed it is the E (and R) where delays occur. I'm not sure which part of the E does the R cover. > No error messages anymore but still duplicates :-( If there are no > errors it's terribly hard to proof that the mail did *not* get > duplicated here - even though I am not at all sure it's my side this > time :-( It should all be in the logs, either sendmail's or amavisd's. Try to locate a logged duplicate delivery and see how it relates to the first-time delivery. If $forward_method is undef (as in a milter setup), then a duplicate could not be produced by amavisd sponataneously, it must have been sendmail's initiative to repeat a delivery.
