Hi,

Sometimes my provider relay has an hiccup and refuses my email:

Feb 25 20:48:33 nimrodel postfix/smtp[19370]: 4341DB7596: to=, relay=smtp.telefonica.net[213.4.149.228]:25, delay=14, delays=0.1/0. 28/14/0, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (SASL authentication failed; server smtp.telefonica.net[213.4.149.228] said: 535 invalid user ID or password)

I want postfix to ignore the error and retry many times. Is it possible?

A 5xx is a permanent error, so: no, Postfix does not ignore this and will not try again. Theo -- Theo v.

I know it is a permanent error. I want it to ignore and retry a few minutes later, because my ISP is a liar: it is a temporary failure. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

It's not possible for a permanent failure. For a temporary failure, you can do a "postqueue -f" to try to flush the queue. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What you want is the default in postfix 2.5. You'll have to look at "smtp_sasl_auth_soft_bounce". /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - your spam is our business. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Just my bad luck! 10.3 has "postfix-2.4.5-20.2". I don't know whether bothering to upgrade, or suffering the random failure. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

:-) Because that one is not a suse package. It is somebody who has compiled it, privately (because of the "home" part). I don't know what for, exactly. Sometimes they are test packages, testing some bugzilla. As the owner hasn't posted any comments there, I have no way to know the intention of those rpms. If, for instance, this chap is the suse postfix maintainer (I have no idea if he is or not), who makes the packages and wants testing and feedback, that would be different: I'd install it from him. On the other side, I like compiling packages. I get some pleasure from it, like others get from repairing their own car. O:-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Hmm, what do you mean with privately? This is not done at a home system. Although it refers to home:/ it is still build on openSUSE's Build Server, using opensuse packages from the distribution...

Yes, it uses some opensuse resources, but it is a person, not an organization. That's why it is under "home". It is not like, for instance, "opensuse/repositories/OpenOffice.org%3a/STABLE/openSUSE_10.3/", which is maintained by the same people that prepare OO for the main distro.

I agree.

I have used some "home" repos when indicated as part of the diagnostic procedure of a Bugzilla, for instance. When told. In this case, I don't have info, so I refrain. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
