Hi misc,

Please, let me know if this mailing list is not the right place for this
question.

I'm following -current and I found that maybe something is wrong with my
setup.
When the server boots the first time after an upgrade the emails from the
installer are lost because of `result=PermFail stat=Error ("mail.lmtp:
connect: Connection refused")`.
I did a few tests and the problem appears when the dovecot is not running
(or before it's been started during the boot cycle).


hi,

for the record, the mail.lmtp mda was being too strict about the connect
failures.

this was not an issue before because smtpd was being extremely cautious, handling all MDA failures as TempFail but this came with other issues so in 6.4 we aligned with Postfix handling only some exit codes as tempfail
and all others as permfail.

diff going to the tree in a minute, tested by Atanas ;-)

Thanks for your fast reaction! Case closed :)
