Hi list,

I'm receiving several thousand errors per day from Postfix. The error is
"454 4.7.0 TLS not available due to local problem" (see below).

TLS is working, and has been for a long time. I've verified this by
telnet and running STARTTLS. But it seems to stop working from time to
time, and I suspect it happens when the server has a lot to do (read:
being flooded by spam). I set tls_random_source to dev:/dev/urandom to
rule out any entropy-related problems, but no go.

The error messages give me nothing to go on, and the mail logs don't
give any clues either.

This is Postfix 2.5.5-1.1 (from Debian Lenny) on x86-64.

Out: 220 XX ESMTP
In: EHLO ne.jp
Out: 250-XX
Out: 250-PIPELINING
Out: 250-SIZE
Out: 250-VRFY
Out: 250-ETRN
Out: 250-STARTTLS
Out: 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN
Out: 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
Out: 250-8BITMIME
Out: 250 DSN
In: STARTTLS
Out: 454 4.7.0 TLS not available due to local problem
In: MAIL FROM:<adyybiwut2410(a)ne.jp> SIZE=3282
Out: 250 2.1.0 Ok
In: RCPT TO:<axeslicer(a)mydomain>
Out: 450 4.1.8 <adyybiwut2410(a)ne.jp>: Sender address rejected: Domain not
found
In: QUIT
Out: 221 2.0.0 Bye

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Look at logs. "Out: 450 4.1.8 <adyybiwut2410(a)ne.jp>: Sender address
rejected: Domain not" looks like DNS problem

Not also that you can tune postfix log level to debug out this kind of problem.

Unless half of Norway's DNS servers are bad, ne.jp doesn't exist.

to debug tls/ssl related problem, please post unedited postconf -n to
mailinglist.
