a log with *all* options enabled - I just added SMTP connection messages
to the default earlier. When I did, I got the same messages, but also
2006-06-07 13:39:12 ident connection to 192.168.0.186 timed out
I then disabled all "ident" connections via
rfc1413_query_timeout = 0s
and was actually able to deliver my message! So the synchronisation
problem appears to be a symptom rather than the real issue - maybe it's
just a result of waiting so long for the ident connection. Also, it
looks like I have a workaround now. I'll still appreciate it if someone
can give me more details on what is going on, though. Also, what exactly
are the consequences of disabling rfc1413 queries?
