Hello,

I've made a fresh installation of Courier MTA and Courier MTA-SSL on a
new Debian Etch installed system.
Without any tricky configuration I got it run and it is working now.
The only problem is that after some time the server won't accept new
requests on Port 25.
After a restart of the MTA (/etc/init.d/courier-mta restart) the service
is running fine again.
After some tests I've observed the following. I tried it with telnet on
that port to see if the MTA is responding, with the
command (telnet mx01.xxxxxx.com 25) and I can see directly a connection
refused.
In a Trace file whih a made with TCPDUMP, you can see that after a SYN
(Syncronise) Message a RST (Reset) Message will follow.
As I said, after a restart, the system is up and running again.
This Problem occurs after some hours or maybe 1 or 2 days. So it will
take a while if this happens again after a restart.
I've installed 2 times as well a complete fresh system, to ensure that I
messed up something in the operating system or TCP-Stack.
But this has not changed the situtation. So my question, is there a bug
in the actuall MTA Software or has someone the
same problems, or better who can help me to sort out this serious
problem, because with this behaviour it is not possible to
operate an e-mail server for my customers.


Many Thanks.

Cheers,
Maik
