This is spooky. Perhaps it's getting a bit too close to Halloween.
My qmail server has been in service for about 3 weeks now (installed on
RedHat 6.0 from Memphis RPM's, running on an old 386/40). Everything
works fine except for one server which has great trouble sending mail to my
server. It's running NTMail under Windows NT 4.0. On my end, I see a log
entry in /var/log/qmail-smtpd/, but no entry in /var/log/qmail/. On the
sending end, I see that the connection attempt was terminated by a Winsock
error.
Oh.... The spooky thing? 30 seconds after this email appeared in my inbox,
an email which the problem server has been trying to send me since 20:00
GMT yesterday appeared. Many of the emails it tries to send me do
eventually appear, usually some time the following day.
I wasn't going to send this to the list until I had gathered a bit more
info, but once I saw this post, I thought I'd mention it. Sorry for the
lack of hard data..... but I would like to hear if anyone's heard of a
similar problem.
