Ubuntu Postfix Error: timeout exceeded (in reply to end of DATA command)
2013-08
user190395
I have Ubuntu box behind the router (Asus RT-N13U), port 25 is forwarded to box from router via VirtualServer feature on router.
The problem is that some clients (here host.ru) can't deliver mail to the box (example.com).
From mail.log on example.com (who receives):
timeout after DATA (0 bytes) from host.ru[77.77.77.77]
From mail.log on host.ru (sender):
to=<[email protected]>, relay=mx.example.com[80.80.80.80]:25, delay=12045, delays=11744/0.01/0.55/300, dsn=4.4.2, status=deferred (host mx.example.com[80.80.80.80] said: 421 4.4.2 mx.example.com Error: timeout exceeded (in reply to end of DATA command))

Ubuntu networking error on startup, works with restart
Questioner
Recently on a system restart we are forced to activate our networking by manually entering the command
/etc/init.d/networking restart
otherwise eth0 is not defined or active.
Can anyone identify from this what the problem is and how we can resolve this?
Output of logs: cat /var/log/messages | grep eth0 (note that I manually turned it on once login failed to have this set)

You can check following things: - Check if there are issues with Getting the IP through DHCP. - On my ubuntu-9.04, its eth1 (no eth0 is created.) - There may be a race condition happening during booting... due to which The interface may be created after networking is enabled.

Obviously more details would help here, check your logs for any mention of eth0 with
# cat /var/log/messages | grep eth0
If you could add the output of the /etc/init.d/networking restart command to your question it would also help. As sudeshpawar has said this could be down to DHCP failing to assign an address in time.
It might be that the NetworkManager service is not starting but without log/dmesg output it's hard to tell.
Enabling and disabling services during start up in GNU/Linux
Ubuntu / Debian Linux: Services Configuration Tool to Start / Stop System Services
Check that the NetworkManager service is started at boot time with the following command :
# find /etc/rc*.d/Network
/etc/rc2.d/S50NetworkManager
/etc/rc3.d/S50NetworkManager
/etc/rc4.d/S50NetworkManager
/etc/rc5.d/S50NetworkManager
From your /var/log/messages output we can see that eth0 comes up during boot after 16 seconds. I assume that the next activity is you restarting the network service.

The ouput from the find command also looks correct, the only difference from my own is the 28 that is simply used to indicate the sequence in which all of the init scripts are started.

The only area left to check is the GUI network manager tool. If your using GNOME right click on the network manager icon, select edit connections, highlight eth0 and select edit and ensure the connect automatically box is ticked.
If this still doesn't fix things please post the output of the following command just after booting.
# ifconfig eth0
# ifup eth0
# ifconfig eth0output
root@sugarbackup-desktop:~# ifconfig eth0

You could reinstall the networkmanager OR install a replacement like WICD.
To reinstall networkmanager run the following command
# sudo aptitude reinstall network-manager
If you are running Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) simply run this command to install WICD
# sudo apt-get install wicd
otherwise follow the guide here
