Hi, I have a postfix that work very well on front-end of an exchange server. Since 2 weeks, emails from Gmail (and few others domains) with attachment > 4MB does not arrive, and after a long period of time, the sender receives an undeliverable mail with the error message "write error: generic::deadline_exceeded: write timeout (180000ms)" We tried to rebuild a new server and the problem is still there (and still works well with the other domains). Below the logs from /var/log/maillog : (the messages listed below appear after a certain period of time) Code: timeout after DATA (179151 bytes) from mail-wj0-f193.google.com[209.85.210.193] We have set log in verbose mode, and the log stops at this point : Code: postfix/cleanup[9013]: cleanup_header_callback: 'X-Attachment-Id: f_iyo78pi70' We changed these parameters without success : Code: header_size_limit message_size_limit smtp_data_xfer_timeout smtp_data_init_timeout Did anyone had the same problem and found a solution, or any idea how to resolve this issue. Any suggestions are welcome.
