Error while sending message Broken pipe

I get this error a lot:

2019-04-08 11:00:56 smtp milter[36300]: 5CAA9D47_36300_14_1: [ERR] Error while sending message Connection reset by peer
2019-04-08 11:00:56 smtp milter[36300]: 5CAA9D47_36300_14_1: lased _connect() is called
What does "lased _connect() is called" mean?

Below is the full log:

  • Hi Judcom

    Lased is part of the as/av system, the call for it means it was scanning the email.

    The relay ip 141.145.10.89 is also blacklisted... as well as some of the delay queue rules were triggered..

    When the connection is instantly severed by the recipient service the result is often a broken pipe..

    An example

    If your filtering the appliance with a firewall and that detects a virus submission to sandstorm if the firewall grabs the sample then the smtp service will fail to connect .. this could also result in a broken pipe error or similar failure

    So there are a few things going on with this sample, unfortunately without access to the messages log with the complete list of hits i cant tell you for sure, but it will be something along those lines

    Cheers
