Temporary lookup failure

[Hungry Snail]

Hi guys,

I have just started recieving emails from postfix telling me that there is a Temporary lookup failure.


*****
Subject:   Postfix SMTP server: errors from adsl190-28-1-167.epm.net.co[190.28.1.167]
Out: 220 mailserver.mydomain.tld ESMTP Postfix (Debian/GNU)
In:  HELO equipo34
Out: 250 mailserver.mydomain.tld
In:  MAIL FROM:<[e-mail]>
Out: 250 2.1.0 Ok
In:  RCPT TO:<[e-mail]>
Out: 451 4.3.0 <[e-mail]>: Temporary lookup failure

Session aborted, reason: lost connection
*****

It only seems to be doing this for email accounts that do not exist (example: [e-mail] does not exist).

Never had this before, and it suddenly started happening 8 hours ago.

any ideas? it doesnt seem to be happening to legit email accounts hosted on the server.

Cheers

Look in the MAILLOG file. Postfix does not disclose configuration
problems to random network clients. It logs them instead.
