Qmail handlers_stderr: DEFER

Andersson

New Pleskian
I hope someone can help me.

I have this in our syslog, and apparently our customer did not receive the e-mail.

Does anyone know what this means?

As far as I know this is how greylisting supposed to work:
"MTA using greylisting will "temporarily reject" any email from a sender it does not recognize." (c) Wiki
Read carefully how GL works and about GL delays here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greylisting
I hope it will help you.
