hi,

i am using postfix [mail_version = 2.1.5] and mailscanner
now i have heard about the beef between mailscanner and postfix but that
is none of my concern. all i merely want is advice and help.

ok, so in header_checks i put a hold header [/^Received:/ HOLD] this is
working fine, but every now and again i see a mail come in and then it
just gets dropped. and that mail never hits the maildir

now here i have an example:

Sep 2 12:59:56 mail postfix/smtpd[18291]: 5FCB69B672:
client=smtp4.ksc.net.th[203.107.131.215]
Sep 2 13:00:02 mail postfix/cleanup[18325]: 5FCB69B672: hold: header
Received: from smtp4.ksc.net.th (smtp4.ksc.net.th [203.107.131.215])??by
mail.louiskarol.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5FCB69B672??for
<roslouiskarol.com>; Fri, 2 Sep 2005 12:59:55 +0200 (SAST) from
smtp4.ksc.net.th[203.107.131.215]; from=<reservationhoteltravel.com>
to=<roslouiskarol.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<smtp4.ksc.net.th>
Sep 2 13:00:02 mail postfix/cleanup[18325]: 5FCB69B672: hold: header
Received: from mailserver2k.htn.hoteltravel.com
(mail1.htn.hoteltravel.com [203.155.201.131])??by smtp4.ksc.net.th
(Postfix) with ESMTP id 6B1A6135856??for <roslouiskarol.com>; Fri, 2
Sep 2005 17:34 from smtp4.ksc.net.th[203.107.131.215];
from=<reservationhoteltravel.com> to=<roslouiskarol.com> proto=ESMTP
helo=<smtp4.ksc.net.th>
Sep 2 13:00:02 mail postfix/cleanup[18325]: 5FCB69B672:
message-id=<C1849E56A0456148ADC76458F56BC8EF7D24E2mails

this mail came in and got a hold header, but when i searched for the
message it's not in hold but in incoming..

mail root # cd /var/spool/postfix
mail postfix # find . -name '*5FCB69B672*' -print
./incoming/5/5FCB69B672
mail postfix #

so - this mail will sit there for a few seconds and then just dissapear.
why would this happen? and how can i fix this - its very random
thank you

winston
