I just configured my cyrus server to accept mails directly from my remote postfix server over lmtp Everything seems to work fine but sometimes lmtp gives strange errors like to=<X>, orig_to=<X>, relay=202.162.229.40[202.162.229.40]:24, delay=0.26, delays=0.25/0/0/0.01, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (host 202.162.229.40[202.162.229.40] said: 550-Mailbox unknown. Either there is no mailbox associated with this 550-name or you do not have authorization to see it. 550 5.1.1 User unknown (in reply to RCPT TO command)) When actually the mailbox is valid. The same mail sent again reaches the mailbox without problems. What could be the reason. The cyrus server is highly loaded most of the time could that be a reason. Anyway I dont want lmtp failures to bounce the mail , can I send a 450 instead of 550. Because I am already ensuring the mailbox exists before accepting the mail. How do I configure this on postfix or lmtp ?
