lost messages on IronPort

I've got problems with mail from one specific domain on our IronPort. All messages from that domain got lost. And I even can't understand which side's fault it is.

Mail log:

Hi,

the appliance would drop a conection only if there is no data received within 5 minutes. From the

Injection  Debug Log it seems that there is either an issue on the client site as  Don mentioned, or somewhere in the network/firewall. I'd suggest running  a packet capture too from the GUI in the right top corner Help and  Support - Packet Capture. This should show you more details, especially if a RST package is sent and from what device it origiantes from.

Best regards,

Enrico

Looks like the connection is getting dropped after the client says "DATA" and the IronPort says "go ahead". I wouldn't expect the IronPort to drop the connection immediately after saying "go ahead" (and besides, why would it do so only for this client?), so my money is on the client. No way to know why without the logs from that end.

I might add that when I temporary switched to FreeBSD-based mail server everything worked fine and all mail got through.

Thanks for the tip. RST is sent by remote host after ironport's '354 go ahead' and three consecutive TCP Retransmission requests all in just one second. I don't get why. Will dig further.

Well, it seems the problem was on remote end and now everything works fine. Though the root of this problem remains undiscovered.
