Andreas,

Thanks for writing back. First of all, I haven't made the time to follow
Wietse's debugging suggestions, but I didn't see an error all day yesterday.
I am running Postfix 2.1.5 with no TLS. The server that is seeing the
problem is a test server that has only two users on it. As a result, it
often goes a full half hour without seeing an email.

When this error happens, typically nothing is happening. It's just running
quietly, throws the error, and continues to run quietly. No emails have
been lost as far as I can tell. No connections were made around the time
when the error is thrown.

I'm stumped. ;-) What I want to know is....is this dangerous? Is it
related to the idle-ness of the server? The two other Postfix servers that
we have in production get consistent traffic and they never throw these
errors.

Michael
