Hello out there,
after solving my lmtp problem with your help i discovered
another problem.
I use the following sieve script to redirect messages to my
brother who is on an exchange in the United Staates for a year.
The mail should get forwarded to his hotmail account but we
want to keep a copy of every mail so that he has the same
mailbox when he comes back.
-- sieve.script of user flo on mailserver
if address :contains :all ["to" , "cc" , "bcc"]
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" {
redirect "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
keep;}
elsif address :contains :all ["to", "cc", "bcc"]
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" { redirect
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
keep;}
FYI, you could shorten this up and write is as:
if address ["to" , "cc" , "bcc"]
["@proescholdt.de", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"] {
redirect "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
keep;
}
You could go even one step further by using :regex for combining your
brothers addresses.
the problem is. If i write a mail to flo[rian]@proescholdt.de
it is delivered to his mailbox on the server, but the
redirection from cyrus to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
stays in the queue for nearly half an hour before it is sent
out.
The same mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] gehts
out at once. The server does not have any relevant load.
/var/log/mail says
Jan 14 18:38:46 raidserver sendmail[12713]: f0EHC0v12711:
[EMAIL PROTECTED], ctladdr=cyrus (52/12),
delay=00:26:46, xdelay=00:26:46, mailer=smtp, pri=30812,
relay=fmrlallmx.t-online.com. [194.25.134.92], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent
(Message accepted.)
is this a failure or a feature? (bouncing mail)
And if true is it possible to switch it off?
I could not find anything about a kind of delay feature in
the sieve internet draft.
I don't believe this has anything to do with cyrus/sieve, at least not
by design. I've had a similar script used here and there is no delay.
I'd look into your sendmail setup.
