This is Exim receiving the message. > 2017-09-13 11:34:08 1ds43b-0004yq-UV == x...@whatsthecraic.net R=local_users > T=dovecot_lmtp defer (-1): LMTP connection closed after initial connection This is Exim reporting that it tried to hand the message off to Dovecot, using the `dovecot_lmtp` transport, but that the connection got closed on Exim. So Dovecot is failing and Exim is just the messenger in the middle. I highly doubt that _all_ your messages had lines great than 998 characters, those are rare; I think that LMTP handoff problem is likely to be a/the real problem here, the other message was just noticeable because Exim was able to report more clearly what has happening in that scenario. -Phil -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
