| Post subject: | My server sends emails to a specific email address every day |
Hi, it seems that my server sends emails to a specific email address every day. There is a user that complaints that he receive the same email three or four times a day from my server. If I read my log I see. Code: Oct 24 21:30:06 netstar postfix/smtp[32357]: connect to gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[2607:f8b0:4002:c01::1a]:25: Network is unreachable after three or four of this message I can see Code: Oct 24 21:52:00 netstar postfix/smtp[32510]: 98B1240E2: to=<EMAIL ADDRESS OF THE USER>, relay=gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[74.125.137.27]:25, delay=0.48, delays=0.03/0.02/0.12/0.31, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 OK 1351108311 h8si5962513anp.131) What is this? It happen with this user only. Why it happen? I don't have any script that automatically send mail to this user, why my server sends email to this user? Thanks. |

I noticed that in my main.cf by default I have: inet_protocols = all it seems that it causes the problem with gmail that complaints about connect to gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[2607:f8b0:4002:c01::1a]:25: Network is unreachable is there someone who can explain what is happening here please? |

Sounds like it's coming from a website do you have any PHP sites that send email? |

You could try adding this to your main.cf: Code: always_bcc = myaddress@example.com That will cause Postfix to BCC all mail to that address, which could help you figure out what this message is about. |

Or he could just have the client that is complaining about the email send him a copy of the full message source. |

I have just solved, a dummy customer put his username and password on a forum to try other people generating a new activation code. Stupid idiot, obviously my server denied the request and resent the wrong activation email code. I will not stop this, I'm glad that he will receive every wrong activation msg xD |
