We are having some major issues over the past week when forwarding mail to xtra. Mainly:
- delivery temporarily suspended: connect to mta.xtra.co.nz - connect to mta.xtra.co.nz[210.54.141.1]: server dropped connection without sending the initial SMTP greeting
Has anyone seen any of these issues and knows anything about them?
We are also seeing issues since late November. I emailed
postmaster(a)xtra from elsewhere on 1 December, with no response so far.
Typical log:
Dec 7 14:19:26 skinner postfix/smtp[19226]: connect to mta.xtra.co.nz
[210.54.141.1]: server dropped connection without sending the initial
greeting (port 25)
Typical telnet:
$ telnet mta.xtra.co.nz 25
Trying 210.54.141.1...
Connected to mta.xtra.co.nz.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

The above is the most common behaviour, but apparently the connection
does stay open properly from time to time (I had to send a bunch in a
row to get this):
