I know that I mentioned Postfix in the subject but I think the behaviour I'm witnessing is caused by Amavisd-new.
I am building up lots and lots of messages caught in my postfix queue with the following message: (host 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] said: 421 4.3.2 Service shutting down, closing channel (in reply to end of DATA command)) This appears to be Amavisd-new rejecting the message from being accepted for scanning. Most mail seems to be coming through fine, so in general the system is working. I looked into the issue and noticed that every message that is being rejected has a '?' (question-mark) character as part of the sender address. Is amavisd-new intentionally rejecting this messages? If so wouldn't it be better to reject using a 500 code rather than a 400? All the messages causing this message do appear to be Spam BTW, so delivery isn't an issue. It's just that they're cluttering up the queue. Thanks.
