Zimbra, TLS and MTU

April 3, 2009 @ 5:40 pm · Filed under Tech

I had some TLS incomming connection issues with my Zimbra (5.0) mail server.  Some but not all TLS connections where having this problem:

Apr  3 15:04:30 mail postfix/smtpd[7305]: timeout after DATA from

I haven’t found a conclusive solution, but the either restart postfix or adjusting the MTU on the mail server interface may fix the problem.

    I forget what I used previously with vmware. I'm now using a mtu of 1500 under kvm and haven't noticed that same problem.
