Hello all;
We have recently implemented a Linux sendmail server as an intermediate relay for inbound and outbound SMTP messages between our Domino mail server and the internet. Inbound SMTP works fine. Outbound from Domino to the SMTP relay works intermittantly.
From the mail event logs:
05/07/2004 10:03:39 AM Router: Error transferring message 004A7075 via SMTP to 66.207.98.231 OFE1337CBB:AA25C51F ON85256E8D:004A7075 Note item not found
05/07/2004 10:03:39 AM Router: Retrying due to transient error: SMTP Client session not connected
From the misc. event logs:
05/07/2004 09:51:42 AM > tell router show queues
Msgs State Via Destination
27 Retry( 2) SMTP 66.207.98.231 (Push)
Last error: No error
Next retry: 05/07/2004 10:03:29 AM
Transfer Threads: Max = 25; Total = 4; Inactive = 0; Max Concurrent = 12
Delivery Threads: Max = 25; Total = 25; Inactive = 0
Mail queues up in the server’s mail.box. I’ve created a new mail.box and pasted in messages from the old one a few at a time. Sometimes they go to the relay, sometimes they wait for hours.
If I configure Domino to send to the Internet directly, the mail goes immediately.
The sendmail box is hardly working and network bandwidth is not an issue, nor is storage space on the sendmail server. I heard this was working fine a few days ago until I was called to look into this issue.
Any thoughts are most appreciated.
