    Hi All,

    Been struggling with this one for too long.
    Mail to yahoo.com and a few other isolated locations are timeing out mid
    stream. All other destinations - No prob's.
    Small plain text is OK. Add a 15K gif attachement => timeout.
    One other common denominator is that the problem recipient mail servers don't
    like ehlo, so I'm suspecting some protocol issue. Detected using telnet.
    To test I've disabled tls and ehlo, but this is not the solution.
    Sendmail has no issues sending from the same node, so it's not likely to be a
    network related issue. (SNAT'd to the same address)
    tcpdump shows the standard transfer for the first 2-3 secs, Syn => ACK =>ACK
    PUSH, then 2 minutes of outbound packets with no reply, then a couple of
    inbound push before a FIN following a suspected timeout length of 2 minutes.
    tcpsump on external interface of firewall is consistent with other dumps.
    This case in particular is a secondary instance to bypass filters for outbound
    mail, but the issue persists with either instance even when the other is not
    running.
    The main.cf is reduced to minimal...

    postconf -n

    alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
    alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
    append_dot_mydomain = no
    biff = no
    config_directory = /etc/postfix-out/
    inet_interfaces = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    initial_destination_concurrency = 2
    mailbox_size_limit = 0
    mydestination = mail.eml.com.au, mailout.xxxxl localhost.xxx, localhost
    myhostname = mailout.eml.local
    mynetworks = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/32, 127.0.0.0/8, [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104
    [::1]/128
    myorigin = /etc/mailname
    queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix-out
    readme_directory = no
    recipient_delimiter = +
    smtp_tls_per_site = hash:/etc/postfix/smtp_tls_per_site
    smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache
    smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name
    smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject
    smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination,
    reject_invalid_hostname, permit
    smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
    smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
    smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache
    smtpd_use_tls = no

    This is bizarre.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    Cheers,

    --
