And as I have said lmtp accepts mail for the same ids most of the times. One in every ~300 mails bounces unexplicably I am now doing a dumb thing of running postfix on the cyrus box too to accept the mails and relay to unix lmtp. This is loading the already loaded cyrus server ( with approx 20000 active acounts ) .. but atleast clients dont get bounced messages from my bosses id. This has surely got to do with the load on the cyrus machine. But returning 550 when machine is loaded is a *really* dumb idea. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
