We are using OTRS 1.3.2 on a FreeBSD box. We provide outsourced network
maintenance services, and for each of our clients, we ask them to set
up on their own email system an account called
"trouble@[clientdomain].com".
We set up OTRS to POP to each of those clients' email servers and
generate new tickets. Since each client sends email to a different
email address, we can dispatch new email tickets by individual client
queue for each client quite easily.
A few days ago, we started seeing errors in the PostMasterPOP3.pl
routine. Today, we have narrowed down the occurrence of those errors
to OTRS trying to fetch mail from a specific client's (outsourced)
email server. That client's email server is running a Barracuda
anti-spam/anti-virus appliance as an email gateway server. The
Barracuda device was recently installed.
I sent a test ticket to this client's trouble@ email address. OTRS
generated an error, but did manage to pull the email down four seconds
after generating the error (according to the time stamps on the error
email sent to me and the OTRS new ticket notification sent to me).
I am not a programmer, but I cannot help but think that
PostMasterPOP3.pl may have some sort of an issue with the Barracuda
appliance.
The error message in response to the email sent to trouble@[client].com,
with header, is below. I've also included a general authentication
error email, when OTRS is just checking if their are any new emails. I
have excised the client's domain name for privacy.
Anything we should check on our end? Thanks!
