Because of this thread I noticed I also had a few
verizon.net messages queued and decided to "fix" things on my
end. I dropped rfc1413_query_timeout down to 10s and the
verizon.net messages went through with no problem.
Interestingly though, this also magically resolved
another issue I'd been having with my registrar which I had
thought was a completely different problem! I had been getting
floods of:
---
SMTP protocol violation: synchronization error (input sent without waiting for greeting): rejected connection from H=corp.easydns.com [205.210.42.42]
in my logs as they were trying to send me stuff. And after
dropping the ident timeout, their messages started flowing
through to me!
I have been in contact with them and they said they are
using Postfix 2 on their side. I guess Postfix gets tired of
waiting for the ident lookup to timeout and just starts spewing
data? Anyone else run into this? Should I bother dropping a
line with the Postfix folks telling them their SMTP server is
broken?
