Fritz, please see my previous email in this thread. Do you think this is such a good idea? This is a qmail bug, there is even a patch for it from what I understand. Qmail should not be sending temporary failure on something that is not possible for it to be resolved no matter how many times the sending MTA tries again. I can see this only causing problems. The ASSP -> MTA (Internal -> Internal) has full rights to talk to each other, usually by white list of IP. Usually also on the same 100Mb or 1 Gb lan. A well crafted attack could use this to their advantage to find ASSP and qmail setups, or any number of similar cases, and generate massive repeated logging data from MTA back to ASSP, thereby overloading it. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I do not think ASSP should make concessions to deal with something that is the bug of someone elses MTA. Maybe "rewrite bare lf" as a option in ASSP, but I still do not believe that is the correct route. Simply fix the MTA, that is the correct route.
