Server Fault Asked by assylias on December 14, 2020
I have a forwarding server using postfix/dovecot that receives emails from a third party mail client (say gmail) and forwards the emails to the final recipient.
I have noticed that when the recipient email server uses greylisting, postfix does not attempt to resend the email a few minutes later as I would expect. All my backoff settings are using default values and I have bounce_queue_lifetime = 0 although I don’t think it is related.
Below is a log extract for such a greylisting response. There seems to be a few things that go wrong: the retry is almost immediate, then the server sends a message to itself which gets bounced etc… There is no further log entry related to this message.
Any ideas how to sort this out and get postfix/dovecot to just retry after a few minutes?

The messages were being rewritten and deleted from the queue by a custom script. Once that script was disabled postfix was able to resend messages after a few minutes and pass the greylisting checks as expected.
Correct answer by assylias on December 14, 2020
This appears to have nothing to do with greylisting and is because of a 550 code by mimecast.

Look at the link provided in the log and it will tell you the resolution is to create an anti-spoofing policy:
550 Anti-Spoofing policy - Inbound not allowed The message has triggered an Anti-Spoofing policy. Create an Anti-Spoofing policy to take no action for the sender's address or IP address.
Did you do that?
