I'm having problems with certain senders getting 554 transaction failed errors. Some of the senders happen to be domains that I host. And I just was informed that a person sending to another domain I host got that error. Just to make sure I'm clear, the 554 error is coming from my smtp server -
not another host.

Neither vanilla qmail-1.03 nor netqmail-1.05 can produce "554 transaction
failed" from qmail-smtpd.

I'm not sure what that exactly means. I've searched around but I can find nothing particularly meaningful. Any advice/suggestions?

Contact the author of the patch you're using that adds that response to
qmail-smtpd:

Running 1.03 with jms combined patch 1.6c.

... "jms" probably knows, or should.

Fair enough, thanks Charles.

John, if you're reading, any ideas on where that 554 is coming from?

nope. the only place the word "transaction" shows up in the source code after any of my patches is "503 no auth during mail transaction (#5.5.0)", which comes from the AUTH patch that i started with, version 0.31 on http://members.elysium.pl/brush/qmail-smtpd-auth/ ...

so if you're seeing a message with the literal words "transaction failed", it's not coming from my patch.

sorry it took so long to reply, the past several months have been really hectic for me, and i'm just now getting around to playing catch-up with mailing list traffic.

Haa haa, holy crap I'd completely forgotten about that issue . . . must have resolved it self like so many plumbing leaks I have . . . Anyways thanks for the reply and the fantastic patches, John.

Matt
