Hello all,
In having a problem with someone running a baraccuda 400 appliance..
The problem is that his logs show he never took the mail from us and we
'Aborted', my exim logs (and the debug pasted below) show he took the
message and then (seeminly) trashed it b/c we didn't wait around for his
OK to our QUIT.
we came across this in the rfc (2821) pertaining to quit:
4.1.1.10 QUIT (QUIT)
This command specifies that the receiver MUST send an OK reply, and
then close the transmission channel.
The receiver MUST NOT intentionally close the transmission channel
until it receives and replies to a QUIT command (even if there was an
error). The sender MUST NOT intentionally close the transmission
channel until it sends a QUIT command and SHOULD wait until it
receives the reply (even if there was an error response to a previous
command). If the connection is closed prematurely due to violations
of the above or system or network failure, the server MUST cancel any
pending transaction, but not undo any previously completed
transaction, and generally MUST act as if the command or transaction
in progress had received a temporary error (i.e., a 4yz response).
# EOF
I then sent an email to the queue and debugged it being sent and found
this: (exim -v -d -M 1G0N4G-0007Ph-9L)
...

His appliance is showing that I have aborted and even though it issued
an OK does not show my message. He needs to take screenshots of his
appliance to show me logs.. but it says this:
Time Received:

To:
Action: Aborted
Reason: Sender Quit

Delivery Detail:
I think that it is wrong that this appliance said OK and then deleted
the message because we didn't wait around for them to issue an OK to our
QUIT.. is there some setting that I might have set that is 'breaking' this?
Or is this device just this way?
