Hi,

my postmaster (which is by some happy coincidence identical to my
person) received some interesting message this morning (interesting only
because he (I) never saw it before:

 ,--[ mail ]---
 | Subject: [MIB-Admin] Postfix SMTP server: errors from camomile.cloud9.net[168.100.1.3]

 | Transcript of session follows.

Is this mail generated by postfix? It seems camomile tried to deliver a
mail from this list. Out: should be my part, In: camomile's. First I
thought it would be a problem on my side, but if I follow the
transaction in my logfile

 ,--[ mail.log ]---
 | May 20 22:40:32 bane postfix/smtpd[2299]: connect from camomile.cloud9.net[168.100.1.3]
 | May 20 22:41:33 bane postfix/smtpd[2299]: 2B4165BB73: client=camomile.cloud9.net[168.100.1.3]
 | May 20 23:41:32 bane postfix/cleanup[2477]: warning: 2B4165BB73: read timeout on cleanup socket
 | May 21 01:06:45 bane postfix/smtpd[2299]: disconnect from camomile.cloud9.net[168.100.1.3]
 `-----

I'm not sure. There is nothing for smtpd[2299] between this period. Is
my interpretation correct, that camomile needed >2.5h to start delivery
and that the "queue file write error" is postfix version of "I could not
talk to the cleanup process anymore" because it timed out? In short: do
I have a problem?

Thanks in advance and kind regards,
 Frank.
