Hey folks, a strange problem. when certain messages double bounce, they
end up hanging in the queue because the remote MTA where I read my mail
doesn't accept something qmail is trying to do. qmail-qread shows the
message in the queue as follows:
2 Dec 1999 16:51:48 GMT #225302 3891 <#@[]>
remote [EMAIL PROTECTED]
note the strange "from" address #@[]. when a delivery attempt is made
the mailer at ifi.unizh.ch chokes with the following error:
delivery 2136: deferral:
130.60.48.10_failed_after_I_sent_the_message./Remote_host_said:_451_Bad_Handshake/
I've tried this by hand, and the mailer at ifi.unizh.ch accepts the mail
delivery and then when you type quit at the smtp prompt it gives a "bad
handshake" error.
Does anyone have any idea why that from is set to #@[], and how I can
fix this. I realise this is a problem with the remote mailer, but I'd
like to prevent the problem on the qmail end if possible.
regards,
Will Harris
