Qmail, deferral

Gorlist

Basic Pleskian
Hi, updated from Plesk 8 to latest plesk 9, though since then uffering from the following when sending to certain email address:


qmail: 1245924225.928713 delivery 147: deferral: Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection._(#4.4.1)/


Done allot of searching however not really sure what the error means, and the best solution?

Second topic is im getting allot of :


Jun 25 11:06:04 sv1 qmail-remote-handlers[4590]: Handlers Filter before-remote for qmail started ...
Jun 25 11:06:04 sv1 qmail-remote-handlers[4590]: from=servizi@posteitaliane.it
Jun 25 11:06:04 sv1 qmail-remote-handlers[4590]: to=21uyu@classnet.pl
Jun 25 11:06:04 sv1 qmail-remote-handlers[4590]: hook_dir = '/usr/local/psa/handlers/before-remote'
Jun 25 11:06:04 sv1 qmail-remote-handlers[4590]: recipient[3] = '21uyu@classnet.pl'
Jun 25 11:06:04 sv1 qmail-remote-handlers[4590]: handlers dir = '/usr/local/psa/handlers/before-remote/recipient/21uyu@classnet.pl'


Anyideas? I could add the ips to my firewall. I cleared the mail queue of the offending person and solved some of the problems with qmailm

Best Regards,

EMail Contents

Whats concerning is the amount of unusual bounce addresses? considering it should be going to "forum@user.co.uk" (ive adjusted it from the original address). It almost looks as if qmail has been compromised and is mass emailing all the emails sent through the server to other accounts (and of course the listed bounce ones have failed).

Any suggestions!
 
Hello,

A common advice from Knowledge Base, just in case:

I get bounce message which states that Qmail was not able to delivery bounce message.
http://kb.odin.com/en/1376

The server is saturated with SPAM. There are many messages in the queue. The mail is sent slowly.

Denis.
