hi all,
does a log file entry
delivery 40846: deferral: Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection._(#4.4.1)/
mean that there was an actual delivery attempt?
The other server was temporarily down but the problem was already fixed.
Sending new mail to this server or an ALRM signal to qmail-send caused these
messages to appear in the log without any IP packet going out to the
destination server via the network (I checked with tcpdump). It seems that
qmail did not even try to reach the server. After a while, the mails went
through.
Regards,
Michael Brunnbauer
