Hi,

(please no CC offlist, I'm here.)

sorry for that.

Michael Fischer v. Mollard <[email protected]> (Mo 21 Mär 2016

Do you have any traces of the delivery attempt of 29077/29079 from
the remote site? Did the mail get through twice?

Can you use a `strace -p` on the delivery and on the transport process
next time?

other PIDs, but same situation:
# strace -p 18619
Process 18619 attached
select(8, [7], NULL, NULL, {17, 252791}) = 0 (Timeout)
wait4(-1, 0x7ffe6b2aef8c, WNOHANG, NULL) = 0
select(8, [7], NULL, NULL, {60, 0})     = 0 (Timeout)
wait4(-1, 0x7ffe6b2aef8c, WNOHANG, NULL) = 0
select(8, [7], NULL, NULL, {60, 0})     = 0 (Timeout)

I'm asking this, because some time ago we observed communication
problems between the smtp transport process and its parent (here 29079
talking back to 29077). If I remember well, the trigger were a long list
of recipients plus some lengthy TLS information.

I think, for us it resulted in crashing deliveries, but I can imagine
hanging deliveries too.

TLS might be a good point. On the receiving side is see a bunch off

30977 handling TLS incoming connection from XXX

so I'll try to disable TLS between the external and internal gateways. I'll post whether this changed the situation.

Regards
        Michael
