I never had this problem with qmail but did you change your qmailqueue
lifetime?

450 means try again later.

Stolen from

dule.html

The following table lists the frequency at which a qmail relay will continue
to attempt to send a message when it receives a temporary 4xx response code.
The qmail server will give up and bounce the email when the number of
seconds defined by queuelifetime has been reached.

Hello,

i got the following problem, when my qmail mailserver tries to deliver
e-mails to a customer:

Feb 2 08:26:53 server03 qmail: 1328189213.767595 delivery 1: deferral:
88.198.51.134_does_not_like_recipient./Remote_host_said:_450_4.2.0_<xxx@yyy.
info>:_Recipient_address_
rejected:_Greylisted,_see_http://postgrey.schweikert.ch/help/yyy.info.html/G
iving_up_on_11.22.33.44./

and qmail sends me:

-- qmail response --
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at xxx.yyy.de.
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.

<yyy@xxx.info>:
This address no longer accepts mail.
-- qmail response --

i called the mailprovider, and they told me, that this problem is on our
side (qmails fault), because our mailserver doesn't try to resend the
e-mail.

so what can/should i do?

Hi Mirko,

This is ok and normal for Greylisting (Return Code 450).

The only reason, why qmail should bounce the message is due to the expiration of the queuelifetime.

Is the last message a double bounce ???

To diagnose the qmail-send log, you can download my 'Newanalyse' package and check the for the consecutive log sequences by means of qmFind.

Check qmail-qread for any pending log entries.

regards.
--eh.
