Postfix error "Server dropped connection

yofori · 02-21-2004, 08:53 PM

I have just recently installed postfix 1.1.12on my redhat 9.0
I get internet access via a dail-up ISP, with a registered domain name. I pick up mail for my domain with fetchmail which works fine. The problem is that I get the error "server dropped connection" when users on my network send mail to the domain "someone@yahoogroups.com". Users however do not get this error when the use the isp's webmail interface to send mail to the same domain.

I would appreciate any help

Thank you

Did you try searching the forums? Nope, you sure didn't. I've answered that question a couple times now. The short version is: Because Yahoo! are jerks.

I pretty much figured out they were jerks. I would apppreciate a solution to the problem please. Would I have the same problem if I change my SMTP to say Qmail for example?
