getting write(L) returned -1, expected 50: Broken pipe inmail.err by domino Server

Hi,

since a few days I see the following error always produced by the same
sending server (my be domino) and sender every 20 minutes. It's always the
same mail:

Aug 19 12:22:17 server milter-greylist: p7JAME8U015316: addr 88.79.xx.xx

I put the sending server to the list "my friends" addr but without any
success. 

Running milter-greylist 4.3.5-3 on debian/lenny.

sendmail.mc:
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`greylist',`S=local:/var/run/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock,
F=, T=S:1m;R:1m')dnl

I thought F= will let the mail through if the milter fails.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Marcus

Hi,

just seeing that there are 2:30 hours between the first log entry Aug 19
12:22:17 and the temp fail at Aug 19 14:51:45. 

I can see the sending server in the process table hanging on DATA

21780 ?        S      0:00 sendmail: MTA: p7QMGAME021780 domino.domain.de
[88.79.xx.xx]: DATA

An iptraf shows a connection, but sending really slow, one package every
few minutes. Wrong conclusion if I say it's just a timeout of my server
after 2:30h because the sending server doesn't finish DATA.

Ciao!
Marcus
