Hi,


I have a problem between one of my postfix and a zimbra server (postfix server).


sometime (one mail every three days), I got this error :
502 5.5.2 Error: command not recognized (in reply to RCPT TO command)


I did a tcpdump to understand why I got this error and I found that one of the "RCPT TO:" command is cut in two packets.
First packet finished by "RC" and second packet began by "PT TO:". And the server doesn't understand this command.


Here is a part of the tcpdump (ascii is obfuscated but hexdump is not) :

How can I solve this problem ?


Thanks in advance.
