hello, I use Exim 3.36 with cyrus imap.
ocasionally the lmtpd from cyrus goes down, if that happens the mail which comes during that time bounces with following error:
Child process of local_delivery_cyrus transport returned 75 (could mean temporary error) from command:
/usr/local/cyrus2/bin/deliver
The following text was generated during the delivery attempt:
couldn't connect to lmtpd: Socket is not connected
421 4.3.0 deliver: couldn't connect to lmtpd
the original message is not delivered, and sender receives the above email.
This is not desirable. Can some one point me to what is wrong with my config, and how I can prevent bounces if not for all temporary error, than at least for this one?
it seems like mysql_autoresponder kicks in if cyrus_local_delivery fails with that error. any ideas why?
below is my config file and some log info:
