Qmail errors : "handlers permanentfail"

regisg

Regular Pleskian
Hello,

My VPS : Plesk 9.3, CentOS 5.2, Postfix 2.3.3

Well, i must say that i am a bit irritated with all these persistent smtp errors...

First, i used Postfix and was confronted to this bug : Mail Redirect (still) doesn't work right with Postfix & CentOS
As the issue was not fixed, i switched postfix to qmail, and this bug disappeared.

But now... i am confronted to ANOTHER BUG with qmail : some mails are not delivered !!
Only certain types of mails, like autoresponders mails (but only when mails are sent from external email adresses/clients, see bellow) and also certain mails sent from php scripts...

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at munci.org. (munci.org is our domain off course)
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<[email protected]>: (this adress is valide off course)
handlers permanentfail

--- Below this line is a copy of the message.

Return-Path: <[email protected]>
Received: (qmail 31901 invoked by uid 0); 10 Feb 2010 11:17:03 +0100

Subject: Autoresponder : test [email protected]
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

Content-Disposition: inline

In my Server-wide mail preferences, i have :
Enable message submission : ON
Relay options : authorization is required: SMTP
DomainKeys spam protection :
Allow signing outgoing mail : ON
Verify incoming mail : ON


Is there a fix for that ?

THX...

Any related errors from /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog ?
 
Resolved

Problem resolved after :
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mchk --with-spam
(it seems that this operation is necessary after switching postfix <->qmail from the plesk autoinstaller...)
